The Abundance Project included four years of in depth interviews with 30 multi- millionaires and 30 minimum wage-earners throughout the United States, and a monthly NYC dialogue that included undocumented workers, millionaires and the people in between. The play, co-directed by Steve Bailey, was written in part with text from these interviews and dialogues. It toured to sold-out houses in Seattle, Houston, Burlington, Washington DC, Providence, Philadelphia and NYC with support from Rockefeller MAP, NYSCA, NEA, Animating Democracy Initiative/Ford Foundation, Threshold and the Nathan Cummings Foundation. “Abundance is a clear-eyed, barrier-breaking, unsettling, and ultimately optimistic new play that lives on in the mind days after you see it.” — NYTheater.com
