Styled as a “Chautauqua tent revival,” this 90-minute concert-play incorporates Whitman’s own words into songs, raps and orations. Actor John Slade's always engrossing performance lets you experience Whitman’s delicious language and bold ideas refreshingly free of the cynicism of our postmodern age. Whitman believed that that human consciousness is “surely headed somewhere” and will only continue to evolve and awaken.
