Description: People: The Pulse of America is a musical about a live reality show where 9 contestants compete to become the person to represent America in an upcoming worldwide TV special. Two sibling anthropologists seek an answer to the question: Is it our similarities or differences that make America a wonderful place? The musical happens in the first episode of the reality show. In the beginning each one proclaims why he or she stands for America. A whirlwind of conflicts and funny situations occur as the characters not only demonstrate how different each one is from the other but also how similar they are to each other. A surprising discovery awaits them.
People: The Pulse of America, demonstrates how diverse our communities are and how valuable it is to celebrate our differences. The show is fun, upbeat and uplifting as the songs talk about talents, personalities, physical attributes, ancestry and our humanity. As usual, the audience will be invited to participate. Come and have fun with us as we embrace the beauty of our diversity.
