Cloth banners and tagboard signs tout slogans like “Inequality hurts us all!” and “This is what democracy looks like.” Haggard citizens huddle in a square singing Bob Dylan’s “The Times They Are A-Changin’.” If this seems more like a description of an Occupy rally than like the opening image of Bertolt Brecht’s The Caucasian Chalk Circle, then you must have missed the theatre department’s Main Stage production this fall.
