Conceived by acclaimed playwright and Fountain Theatre community engagement coordinator **France-Luce Benson** and co-directed by Benson and **Lily Ockwell**, *Raise Your Voice – Vote!* aims to build momentum and awareness about the upcoming election while bringing theater for the people to the people. The five-member acting ensemble (**Victor Anthony**, **Jessica Emmanuel**, **Wonjung Kim**, **Theo Perkins** and **Rayne J. Raney**) will present a series of pop up performances in six public spaces, each representative of L.A.'s cultural landscape. Each performance will feature America's most iconic speeches about voting rights, plus dance and song. Volunteers will be stationed at every location to offer assistance with voter registration and voter education.

“We want to create an event that is inspirational, but never didactic,” explains Benson. “The performers will be in conversation with each other and with the people around them, blending in, respecting and embracing whichever community we’re in.”

Each of the performances will be live-streamed and will also be augmented by a series of surprise appearances, posts and performances on the Fountain Theatre's social media pages in support of voter awareness.

*Raise Your Voice – Vote!* is produced by **Stephen Sachs** and **Simon Levy** for the Fountain Theatre. **James Bennett** is live-stream editor, and **Terri Roberts** is volunteer coordinator. The event is underwritten by **Miles** and **Joni Benickes, Diana Buckhantz**, **Karen Kondazian**, **Maggi Phillips**, **Susan Stockel**, **Dorothy Wolpert**, and **Don** and **Suzanne Zachary**. Event partners include volunteer organizations **The Social Ripple Effect** and **Big Sunday**.
