RoosevElvis tickets

On a hallucinatory road trip from the Badlands to Graceland, the spirits of Elvis Presley and Theodore Roosevelt battle over the soul of Ann, a painfully shy meat-processing plant worker, and what kind of man or woman Ann should become. Set against the boundless blue skies of the Great Plains and endless American highway, RoosevElvis is a new work about gender, appetite, and the multitudes we contain.

The TEAM is a Brooklyn-based ensemble dedicated to creating new work about the experience of living in America today.

“There are moments in the TEAM’s latest work—the trippy, affecting RoosevElvis—that seem more buoyant than theatrical material has any right to be…bouncing it from the merely nutty to the utterly delirious…The audience laughs—not with recognition or self-satisfaction, but with the purest kind of astonished delight.” Helen Shaw, Time Out New York 

“RoosevElvis is the [TEAM]’s most intimate work that I’ve seen, and also its warmest…a spirited and insightful commentary on two archetypes of American masculinity.” Ben Brantley, The New York Times
