Rodney Gardiner is currently in previews in a world premiere of American Night: The Ballad of Juan José at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Directed by Obie Winner Jo Bonney, Rodney has been working with the Culture Clash in developing this new piece.
From their release: "As Juan José studies for his citizenship exam, his obsession to pass takes him on a fantastical odyssey. On a zig-zag journey through U.S. history, Juan discovers America’s best in a handful of unsung citizens who made courageous choices in some of the country’s toughest times. L.A.’s legendary Culture Clash partners with company actors in a cutting, comic mix of past and present, stereotype and truth that will move you into a deeper vision of our shared story."
