Big Machine is a musical about the potential of youth amidst the degradation of the American working machine. While clocking in for a company with big dreams and harmful tactics, the young people in Big Machine must choose how to respond to the world which seeks to extract their childhood and all of their best intentions. Big Machine asks us how labor across the last 100 years has evolved in the US and what remains the same. Big Machine is created in the COCAwrites program which seeks to tell stories for multi-generational audiences with youth at the center. Student artists work with a company of professionals to gain training and develop the new work together. Student dramaturgy and feedback is at the core of the new work development process. Students participate in all areas of production from Acting, Directing, Music Directing, Design, and Production, under the direction of Jennifer Wintzer, Artistic Director of Theatre.
