What happens to the mind when all it knows are lies? What happens to the heart when all it can do is weep or the body when all it consumes is poison? Roger Anthony’s first solo show, State of the Union, explores the darker side of the human experience. Beyond the surface level of casual conversation, Anthony uses an array of mediums to start a dialogue that ends in introspection. State of the Union challenges viewers to question what was, what is and what will be in the context of everyday life in America.
