Eckerd Theater Company Presents
VOTE?
by Eric Coble
September 27, 2008
2:00 and 7:30 p.m.
Eighteen-year-old Nicole Harrison registered to vote but doesn’t plan to cast a ballot.
Why bother? As her friend stresses the
importance of voicing her opinion, Nicole suddenly slips back through time. From the American Revolution through the Vietnam Era, Nicole battles to return to the present while others battle for the right she so casually dismisses. Standing beside women, minorities and young people demanding the right to vote, Nicole participates in changing the face of democracy as we learn how many shoulders we’re standing on every time we step into a voting booth.
