"Art in Democracy is a two-volume, illustrated selection of nine award-winning Roadside Theater scripts with ten critical essays. Together they trace Roadside's rural origin through its 45-year development of Appalachia's first regionally-produces body of grassroots musical drama, its experience touring 48 states and seven foreign countries, and its methodology for building diverse, inclusive audiences. The plays in Volume 1 offer a people's history of the Appalachian coalfields, from the European incursion through the American War in Vietnam. The plays in Volume 2 come from Roadside's intercultural and issue-specific theater work, including long-term collaborations with the African American Junebug Productions in New Orleans and the Puerto Rican Pregones Theater in the South Bronx, as well as with residents on both sides of the walls of prisons."--
