SOJOURN THEATRE’S
HOW TO END POVERTY IN 90 MINUTES

Sojourn Theatre’s How to End Poverty in 90 Minutes

Conceived and Written by Michael Rohd and Sojourn Theatre

February 4th – 22nd

Directed by Liam Kaas-Lentz

ABOUT

This is not a play; it is not a lecture; it is not an interactive workshop; it is not a physical theatre piece; it is not a public conversation. How to End Poverty in 90 Minutes is all of these things. Most significantly, it’s an opportunity to challenge a different audience every show with the question: how do you attack the problem of poverty in America, with a lens specifically focused on Multnomah County. Over the course of 90 minutes, the audience will listen, explore and ultimately choose how to spend $1,000 cash from ticket sales sitting onstage at each performance. The show is an experiment in dialogue, in collective decision-making, in shared responsibility, and in the potential for art to help us make our world a better place. Spectacularly eclectic in form, often delightful and occasionally uncomfortable, How to End Poverty will engage Multnomah County audiences alongside community experts. Come spend with us.
