NOT AMERICAN

Artistic Direction: Benjamin Larose
Combining drag, storytelling, song and physical comedy, NOT AMERICAN is a tour de force performance. In the span of 90 minutes, writer, director and performer Benjamin Larose portrays seven different characters, each one more unhinged than the previous. NOT AMERICAN is an hilarious, outrageous and moving one-person show. It tells the story of a middle-aged artist who realizes he has NOT achieved the fame he dreamed of as a dorky kid growing up in French-speaking Québec. Embodying both male and female, Québecois and American, and performing in both his native French and English, Larose shares with the audience an audacious yet intimately crafted exploration of middle-age and his own obsessive yearning to be American. After two successful runs at Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theater and The Den Theatre, NOT AMERICAN promises to be a MUST-SEE drag theater event!
