The TEAM: To the Boys and Girls in America, I am taking a sick day

Acclaimed for their rigorous explorations of contemporary American themes, The TEAM presents a new work in progress grappling with the question "What is American capitalism vs. capitalism as a theory?" With a title inspired by a Hold Steady album; content influenced by cowboys, bowling, Manifest Destiny and Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard; and mentorships that partner company members with experts from the financial sector, the development of this piece began before the economy collapsed and is sure to remain subject to market fluctuations. To the Boys and Girls in America, I am taking a sick day is directed by Rachel Chavkin; the BRIClab Creative Advisor is Morgan Jenness.
