Walkabout Theater Company and Collaboraction proudly announce the Chicago premiere of Goldbrick.  A live band, two actors and video projections weave a fast paced, irreverent, darkly funny story of exploration, exploitation, private dreams and the cost of survival.  The live music of Goldbrick draws from Jon Langford’s solo releases as well as from his work with the Mekonsto illuminate the ongoing American story of immigration. Goldbrick follows the journey of Everyman (Larry Yando) from Wales making a life for himself in America. Through video projections, his experiences are inter-woven with the voices and dreams of others who come to America for a better life. Onstage, Everyman interacts with memories of the past, icons of a better future and obstacles of the present (all played by Tawny Newsome). Everyman does what he must do to survive, ultimately reaching crisis as he faces questions that haunt, not only him, but all of us, and that as a nation we can no longer afford to ignore.
