Kornbluth’s latest picks up the narrative threads of his previous work and turns the spotlight on the divided heart of America’s democracy. Rooted in Josh’s colorful autobiography, and his determination to engage The System, Citizen Josh is smart, heart wrenching, and filled with Kornbluthian hilarity. A stirring call to action all about Berkeley from one of the country’s leading monologists!
"I saw Josh Kornbluth's play this past weekend at the Ashby Stage. It was funny, touching and thoughtful ... especially for folks who live and work in Berkeley. If you haven't seen it already, do yourself a favor and check it out. It was a great experience."
Timothy Burroughs, Climate Action Coordinator, City of Berkeley
