Inspired by real-life internet commentary revolving around the 2016 U.S. Election, OUTRAGE is a one man show challenging a severely polarized America to listen more closely.The trolling, cyberbullying, and name calling we engage in on a daily basis takes center stage in this brutally honest portrayal of our national turmoil. OUTRAGE cries out from inside the crucible of America in the age of Trump—striving to create a channel for empathy through the embodiment of Americans staring fearfully across the political divide.
