A New Political, Comedy, and Musical Play:
Bluebird, a small, neglected town in a Red State suddenly finds itself at the forefront of a political storm! Due to an Electoral College tie and a voting machine glitch the entire Presidential Election comes down to the one district that didn't report any results. But as they are pressured to quickly revote, some Bluebirders, surrounded by their crumbling, forgotten town, wonder: What is their quick revote worth to America? Funding a new sidewalk? A rebuilt school? Can one town hold an entire nation's election hostage in order to get long lost federal funding? Is a new library in a small town worth one less tank in Iraq? And would the government keep its promises to help voter insurgents in a... Red State?
