The Real Americans

Atlas Performing Arts Center
1333 H Street NE Washington

Inspired by 100 days traveling in a van through small-town America, actor-journalist Dan Hoyle enacts a multi-character encounter with the people at ground zero of our country's growing economic inequality and polarized politics. Hoyle's quest to "break the liberal bubble" sends him on an unforgettable journey into the lives of the real Americans: union coal miners, rural drug dealers, anti-war Veterans and closeted gay creation theory experts, to name just a few. Find out why The Huffington Post hailed The Real Americans as "nothing short of brilliant: unsettling, poignant, and hilarious," when Mosaic Theater Company presents it at the Atlas Performing Arts Center in Washington, DC.

"...Hoyle demonstrates an uncanny ability to embody racially and culturally diverse men and women from across the nation's heartland. With the aid of just a few hats (and solid lighting design by E-Hui Woo), he takes on numerous voices with strong physicality and great sensitivity. Hoyle's razor-sharp writing and performing draws out laughter and emotional impact. His portrayal of characters based on real people, from members of his own navel-gazing brunch crowd in San Francisco to a young Latino veteran to a black drug dealer, is just on the edge of parody without being offensive. Hoyle nails the laughs but overflows with empathy, making the audience uncomfortable in a good way."
