WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Would you rather be smarter or taller? If you could have one extra hour today, what would you do with it? What's the most important thing you've ever done that you didn't want to do? How much change, just change, do you think is in the pockets and bags of the people in this room?
How Much is Enough explores notions of "value"--in all its poetic iterations--quantitatively through our relations to money and qualitatively by asking what we hold dear. The piece itself is built entirely out of questions posed by three performers to audience members, to each other, to the universe, and then some, about how we live our lives, what plans we've made for the future and what advice we can offer one another as we attempt to create lives of value.
Equal parts town hall meeting, party, guide for the perplexed...and then some, How Much is Enough gathers its greatest theatricality from the most interesting people in the theatre--those who usually sit in the dark.

There's always an unquantifiable extra element of live performance that gives a play life and makes each show a unique moment in time. Playwright Kirk Lynn and director Melanie Joseph magnify this effect ten-fold in the Foundry Theatre's How Much Is Enough?, at St. Ann's Warehouse.
The show's subtitle "our values in question" sums up the structure of the show, which is essentially a long series of questions strung together. They first are projected on top of the many small plastic tables at which the audience sits and later spoken by the performers. Questions like "is philanthropy too easy?" and "what was the last lie you told?" are repeated on the scroll as people file into the space.
