Is theatre better when it is therapy, not agit prop? Is it better when it presents a struggle of feelings, not a struggle of agendas? With the upcoming election as a backdrop, MARCH TO NOVEMBER is an examination of one artist’s search to find political responsibility in her work. Inspired by SF Weekly theatre critic Chloe Veltman’s January 9, 2008 article entitled “Election Stage Left,” which challenged Bay Area playwrights and theatre companies to create more “political” works, Sleepwalkers answers the call to arms with a classic hero story that assesses the relevance of overtly political theatre.Tore Ingersoll–Thorp has acted, directed, and produced theatre in New York and San Francisco for over 10 years. MARCH TO NOVEMBER is the second play he’s penned and he is proud to have written both exclusively for Sleepwalkers Theatre, the company he co-founded with two dudes in a Chinatown bar. Favorite collaborations include everything he's ever done with playwrights David Ackerman, John Rosenberg, Will Marchetti, Ryan Beebe, and Ryan Michael Teller. Writers are his favorite people.
