Dale and Ed are honest and hard-working men who enjoy the simple pleasures of small-town life. But they are swept into a hallucinatory quest for the soul of the country when the resurrected first president appears with visions of an “all-seeing eye” that controls the fate of America. Pursued by truth-seeker/talk-show host Marsha Monroe, they struggle to uncover the mystery behind George's appearance and secrets of their own identity. Praise for the Creative Team "Leah Bonvissuto stages an extraordinary production that seamlessly transitions from scene to scene and still keeps the audience engaged. Her creative vision, Jane Austin meets "The Matrix," is fully realized and works sublimely...” - Bryan Stryker, Stage Buzz "So very smart and entertaining... Have U Seen My Soul? is a terrific example of how alive the theater scene is outside of Manhattan." - Robin Reed, nytheatre.com Genesis of the Show The Resurrection of George began as a short story evoking the singularity of American identity. What drives our urge to create unity from diversity? Why are certain personas beheld as “self-evident?” Writer Harold Lehmann became fascinated with the iconography of George Washington interacting with other symbols from the American Dream. A script emerged and Lehmann sought out Director Leah Bonvissuto to bring fresh perspective and realize this visual language. Bonvissuto collected a dynamic team of performers and designers to create a cacophony of rock-n-roll, pop-art projection, and performances inspired by clowning and viewpoints work among other styles. The result is a hypnotic contrast that chases something real in the surreal heart of this American Myth.
