In Wheelin’ Across the Land: Spring 1967, the Fire Dragon Street Theater troupe, now on a cross-country tour, is hell-bent on enlightening audiences about their country’s injustices. Fourteen young actors with spirited egos and opinions perform their confrontational collectively-created dramas for feisty students, critical professors, and older activists who simultaneously challenge the troupe to deepen their awareness about how capitalism produces these injustices. Cheryl, the troupe’s only Black member, persuades the group to reformulate 'Choice' into a powerful exposé about the oppression of Black soldiers during the Vietnam War. Her passionate and empathic love relationship with a white actress forges a dynamic, challenging energy that further promotes the young peoples’ growth. Protagonist Lucina, although in love with her movement husband, allows herself to savor the memory of an electrifying lesbian moment back in New York City. This memoir-driven sequel to Fire Dragon Street Theater is a blueprint for all kinds of humane collaborations. Each actor’s unique obsessions and tensions resonate with our own in our struggle for healthy, meaningful lives. Did we make a difference? Can we make a difference? Here we go again!Wheelin’ Across the Land: Spring 1967 is the sequel to Fire Dragon Street Theater: 1962-1967.
