Every two years about 7 million Americans turn 18 and are eligible to vote. Despite their newfound eligibility, these voters participate at a much lower rate than the rest of the population. Why? Does their vote matter? Does your vote matter? Hear the voices of these voters in our community as they speak up on civic engagement and how to make the world a better place for future generations. For the past two years, Central Square Theater's youth ensemble, Youth Underground, has interviewed members of our community who grapple with the challenges and promises of increasing civic participation. Together with playwright Betsy Bard, and director Vicent Ernest Siders, in the spirit of activism and social change, Youth Underground brings you Act Up & Vote!

It's My Party!: Political change has never been easy in America. But is it even possible — especially when two different factions fight for the same thing, using divergent tactics? It’s My Party! offers a fresh take on the storied conflict between establishment and radical suffragists. Written to celebrate the 2020 Suffrage Centennial, this play focuses on the shaky alliances, as well as the bitter rivalries, that propelled the nation’s march toward the 19th Amendment
