Walking the dog Theater opens the third professional production of its 2011 Season with THE LOST FRONTIER OF AMERICA at Space 360, 360 Warren Street in Hudson, October 27-November 5, 2011.
Directed by Ted Pugh and Fern Sloan of The Actors' Ensemble, and performed by David Anderson and Brigitte Choura in an original, devised theater piece, with text from Ralph Waldo Emerson and others, THE LOST FRONTIER OF AMERICA is one character's reckoning with the haunting power and unfulfilled ghost of Emerson's quintessentially American essay: "Self-Reliance."
Set in the context of a 21st century diner, the character encounters the limitations of his current life and situation and uncovers the possibilities and the unclaimed legacy of Emerson's visionary essay. A journey of discovery that dramatically and humorously comes to terms with what it might mean to be fully human and fully American.
