WELCOME TO AMERICANA COSPLAY!
Troy Foundry Theater & Die-Cast are teaming up again to bring you Americana Cosplay, a new immersive, mixed-media performance created by Die-Cast and directed by Brenna Geffers, that interrogates the myths underpinning American identity, all performed at the historic Paine Castle in Troy, NY. The United States of America may have been conceived in 1776, but it was born in the turmoil of the decades following the Civil War. Americana Cosplay is a rowdy, raucous look at how we reimagined American identity in the years 1870 - 1890 and then somehow forgot that we made that whole identity up. From solo gunslingers of the west to the new capitalists in the north, we are still basing our current mythos on these imagined anti-heroes. Join us for a new immersive performance that invites you into a private club for a little american cos play. There are political assassinations, backroom business deals, gothic stories of forbidden love, and some good ol' fashioned TikTok line dancing. You get to choose your fantasy, but only up to a point. Just in time for America’s 250th birthday! Yeah!
