Frustrated by the Alito hearings? Wonder why no one in this Supreme Court conversation seems to be saying anything direct or honest?

The Law Project, an open-source comedy.

My law degree is in my closet. I am not. Is the law what holds this country together? Save $120,000 and three years, or just get a really great and entertaining romp through the law skul experience as Heather teaches and learns law with the audience.

More about Heather + The Law Project (www.subvert.com)

The incredible audience participation at her Internet Roasts at SxSW helped inspire Heather Gold's debut open-source comedy "I Look Like An Egg, but I Identify As A Cookie." Heather has baked almost 20,000 cookies with audiences in this incredibly successful show which ran for over a year in San Francisco and will play Off-Broadway at Ars Nova in February 2006. Cookie also won Best of the Bay from the Oakland Tribune and Curve Magazine's National Lesbian Theatre Award. Heather is proud to follow up "Cookie" with her newest work The Law Project, which will debut its beta release at The Vortex Rep on March 13th and 14th.

My work aims to create live, intimate community by exploring universal subjects that connect us. My interactive plays create community through the performance: To use humor, personal storytelling, and most of all the audience themselves to create a deep sense of connection and inclusion. Unlike most stand-up comics or audience participation shows, I never make comedy at the expense of the audience. I create a space for them to shine.

The commons is shrinking quickly in this nation, with conversations, academic and otherwise, happening more and more between folks who already agree with each other, listening to more of what they already think. Performance (and the law) have the opportunity to strengthen bonds as they can bring people together who are different, or already in disagreement.
