About the show

MANIFEST DESTINY'S CHILD is a provocative, intelligent, and humorous meditation on how the American left lost its way and woke up in Trumplandia. The real story of a man who goes from a cushy job teaching at a boarding school to the frontlines of the Occupy movement, to a job launching Jill Stein’s well-meaning but flawed Presidential campaign, to facing down eviction orders at Standing Rock. In this new solo show, Dennis Trainor Jr takes a pickaxe to the pillars holding up the toxic myth of American Exceptionalism.
