AMERICAN MACHINE
A new play by James Lantz, writer/producer of The Bus
FlynnSpace, September 25 - October 7

Part parable on the American dream, part cautionary tale taken from the headlines, American Machine tells the story of a great factory that once made parts for classic American cars. As a makeshift family of six friends come together each night to work, they're soon faced with rumors that their employer will be downsizing—or even closing altogether. As they begin working on a new order—making buckets and mops for Wal-Mart—the prospect of being split up looms before them, and their dedication to the once-proud factory is put to the test.

Opening Night Benefit
On Tuesday evening, September 25th, the opening night performance of American Machine will benefit The Burlington Schools Food Project. 100% of all proceeds from this show will go to the project to support healthy fruits and vegetables for students at Burlington schools and to support CSA farm shares for food service employees at Burlington school cafeterias.         

Tickets to the Opening Night Benefit Performance for The Burlington Schools Food Project may be purchased for $15 in advance at the information desk at City Market in Burlington, or $20 at the door.
