Picking Palin, which concerns "the story of how and why a certain first-term, little-known governor from Alaska became the 2008 Republican Vice Presidential candidate," will make its world premiere as part of the 14th annual New York International Fringe Festival.
Picking Palin, according to press notes, is described as such: "As the Democratic National Convention plays on television, four top Republican strategists meet in a hotel room to decide who will accompany John McCain on the 2008 Republican Presidential ticket. The battle over Sarah Palin as a Vice Presidential candidate soon became a battle for the soul of the Republican party, not just in that hotel room, but also in newspapers, blogs and magazines all across the country. Picking Palin depicts the very real battle that raged, and continues to rage, over the past, present and future of the Republican Party, in particular, and of American Conservatism, in general."
You know this could be VERY entertaining. I think if I were in New York I would absolutely make it a priority to see this play.
Hey if any of you guys are in the New York area, and happen to catch a show, would you be willing to send a brief review? I would happily post it if you would.
Oh, and don't forget to bring a pillow to sit on.
