Winner of the 2026 Bay Area Theater Critics Circle Award for Solo Performance, the production is written and performed by Hoyle and directed by Aldo Billingslea. Developed with Charlie Varon and Michael Moran, the 75-minute solo work draws from interviews and reporting conducted across the United States to explore contemporary American civic life.<\/p>\n

The production follows a range of individuals navigating political and cultural divisions, including a Florida school-board activist, voting-rights canvassers in Atlanta, a former gang member working to counter extremism in Missouri, and residents sharing stories in Las Vegas barbershops. Through a combination of storytelling, character work, and documentary-style performance, Hoyle portrays people confronting questions of democracy, identity, and social change.<\/p>\n

Hoyle\u2019s previous solo productions have been presented Off-Broadway at The Public Theater and Culture Project, as well as at theaters including Berkeley Repertory Theatre, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, and Portland Center Stage. His work has also toured internationally in Ireland, India, Wales, Mexico, Canada, and Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Director Aldo Billingslea is a professor of theater at Santa Clara University, where he teaches acting. He also serves as Theatre Program Director for The222.org in Healdsburg, California.<\/p>\n

TAKES ALL KINDS: STORIES OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY will run approximately 75 minutes with no intermission. Tickets are currently available through Capital Stage.<\/p>\n
