A Flint Youth Theatre World Premiere collaboration with Tapology and Raise it Up! Youth Arts and Awareness. April/May 2016.
What's in a name?
"Vehicle City"
"Murder Capital"
"Comeback Town"
We are defined by the stories we tell each other about ourselves. What does it means to call Flint, Michigan “Home”?
The result of a multi-year collaboration with several community partners and local residents, The Most (Blank) City in America began as an exploration of what it means to call Flint “Home”, and asked questions about the words we hear, use, and would like to see used to describe the city of Flint.
"Flint is more than just the national headlines...There is creativity, commitment, revitalization, strength and courage. Morton doesn’t just focus on the negative. He finds the soul of the city and the reason it hasn’t just turned out the lights and packed up." - Bridgette M. Redman, Encore Michigan. Read the full review here.
"...A fitting cap on Andrew Morton’s previous FYT collaborations that also reference Flint – Bloom and 9XNourished." - Kathleen Kirby, Flint Area Theatres. Read the full review here.
The project was also featured in Belt Magazine, and live streamed via HowlRound. You can watch the entire archived live stream here.
