“Lower Debt” tells the story of an everyman who leaves his white-collar existence,
and ends up in a tent city among residents all searching for another way to live. Set in the uncertain economic climate at the beginning of the 21st century, this ensemble-based
multimedia play explores the themes of community, ownership, loss and hope while
asking the question, “How did we end up here?”
