HartBeat Ensemble

HartBeat Ensemble will present Kristina Wong for Public Office, a new work by performance artist, comedian, writer, and elected representative Kristina Wong at the Carriage House Theater in Hartford, CT on September 17-18, 2020. The 65-minute comedic performance crosses the aesthetics of campaign rallies, church revivals, and solo theater shows to tell the story of what it means to run for local office, the history of voting, and the impact artists can have on democracy. In addition to the performances, a series of engagement activities have been devised to allow audiences the opportunity to talk and learn about voting rights beyond the performance.
