Excellent show! It was a hoot, and I had a great time. Very colorful, musical, and fun!!! It is not your ordinary play with a simple story. It is a creative romp through American culture with a dadaist tilt. It is "GO".Written on Jan 30 2010

Loved it!Written on Feb 02 2010
The show is random and colorful - just like Robert Ruschenberg!
The story is hard to follow, at first. Then you realize that it's not supposed to be followed like a traditional play.
Sit back and enjoy!
PS: The girl in the roller skates is hot!
The trucker is not so bad either :)

Description
Director Bart DeLorenzo teams up with choreographer Ken Roht to dish up Mee's rollicking collage-montage tribute to Robert Rauschenberg that captures the happy, improvisational quality of the artist's singular vision.
Artist Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008) once said, "A painting is more like the real world if it is made out of the real world." This infatuation with art and everyday life led him to pioneer the idea of "Combines," provocative collages created out of nontraditional materials. Taking a single canvas, Rauschenberg would combine pictures, familiar prints, sculptures and everyday objects (like tennis balls and stuffed goats), blurring the line between art and sculpture, between art and life. In bobrauschenbergamerica, the stage is the canvas, and TheSpyAnts create a living, breathing "Combine." The eclectic group of characters and collage of colorful vignettes and fantastical images may seem to unfold like juxtaposing elements, but when seen as a whole they
produce a loving tribute to American life.
"The play is a celebration," enthuses DeLorenzo. "It's a collage play written by a collagist about another collagist - an appropriate homage to our crazy quilt of a country." bobrauschenbergamerica originally premiered at the 2001 Humana Festival in Louisville.
Conceived and produced by Anne Bogart and New York's SITI Company, where Mee is resident playwright, it enjoyed limited runs in New York, at Boston's ART, Chicago, France and Germany. The New York Times called it, "Brashly, unapologetically entertaining… a work that will resonate even with someone who has never seen one of Mr. Rauschenberg's famous collages."
