In this rich, dark comedy the USA has evolved in 2020 into a global corporate nation or corpornation. Sub-divided by a great, brick wall into the northern Bluefish and southern Redfish States, AmericA, Inc. is run by Travis Bash, President + CEO. Perpetually at war, its Supreme Court disbanded, riddled by lobbyists and voracious for capital, Bash drafts Bob, a destitute Yale poet, to transform America, Inc.'s corporate culture. Bob's job is to market to shareholders the vulgar, bewildering and corrupt culture of this brutal corporate nation to increase share value. Nothing is sacred in corporate America or American culture in this hilarious cautionary tale about a corpornation gone berserk in its relentless pursuit of self-interest and profitability. In a blend of high and low comedy, AmericA, Inc. rings true in a witty, merciless lampoon of the omniscient intrusion of the savage greed of big business into culture, politics, law, religion and everyday life. Lentz innovates with an accessible, darkly comic script to bring characters to life onstage in satire. In AmericA, Inc. Lentz extends the literary bloodline of the rich satire of Gaddis, Beckett, Orwell and Moliere.
