About the Show

From the creator of Tings Dey Happen, The Real Americans, and Border People comes It Takes All Kinds, a raw, funny, moving, searing new piece of journalistic theater and embodied storytelling. It Takes All Kinds channels powerful, funny and complex people caught in the social and political currents roiling our society. And in tender portraits of everyday Americans turned unlikely changemakers, it illuminates ways forward in these tumultuous times.

Experience the moving, funny, true Stories of American Democracy.

From Dan Hoyle whose work has been hailed as “riveting, funny and poignant” (New York Times) and “hilarious, moving and very necessary” (Salon) and directed by celebrated director and actor Aldo Billingslea, comes this riveting and essential new piece that will change the way you see the country.
