There is little attempt at dialogue or acting of any sort, except for a few perfunctory hand gestures. The show uses no sets, props or costumes...
...march is well organized. Maybe a hundred march guides, keeping people from overflowing from their lane, where there are no cars, into a lane of opposing traffic. At the head of the long procession is a truck equipped with loudspeakers, leading those marchers within earshot in chants like, "Allan Bakke, he's no smarter, just a tool for Jimmy Carter...
