Based on Howard Zinn's bestselling Voices of a People's History of the United States, Rebel Voices is less a play than a collection of songs and speeches outlining America's constant struggle to do the right thing. With a roster of guest appearances including the likes of Patti Smith, Eve Ensler, and Danny Glover, Voices weaves together first-person accounts of American activism throughout history, from Frederick Douglass to Cindy Sheehan. Whether exposing the hypocrisy of Independence Day or the fallacy of an "all-volunteer" army in an economically polarized society, these voices of dissent share a uniquely American urge for self-improvement — making today's noticeable lack of civil disobedience all the more troublesome.
