Four uniquely American characters, all listening to the same uniquely American sounds of a fusion radio DJ find their uniquely American lives on a collision course of change. What does change mean to them individually or collectively? Award-winning playwright Aditi Brennan Kapil joins the Breaking Ice ensemble to create a piece that is as thought provoking as it is timely.

"America is changing, the world is changing, our very lives are changing," states director Heidi Hunter Batz. "Pillsbury House Theatre set out to examine what it means to experience this change. We have been honored to partner with Aditi Brennan Kapil on this stage production. Through our joint exploration, we've decided to tell these stories of change through the medium of radio; a communication tool that allows people to express their thoughts and emotions with thousands of people while still being able to remain anonymous. Where are we going? Where have we been? People that have come to know Pillsbury House Theatre for our commitment to producing thought provoking shows that sometimes provide more questions than answers will find that same dedication in Playlist: America '09."
