Antoinette Greene talks about All Rise



Q: What is All Rise?

Antoinette: All Rise is a one woman show written for me by writer/director Stephen Mitchell. It's about a judge giving a lecture to attorneys at law and motions in her courtroom.

Q: How would you describe the character?
Antoinette: I play her as a woman who has a chip on her shoulder and a world-class attitude. She would like nothing better than to provoke anyone she can.


Q: What issues does the show present?
Antoinette: As much as anything it deals with the difference between reality and perceived reality. In America, the people have rights--everyone knows that--but what they don't know is that the courts don't treat them as people; the courts treat them as "persons". “Persons” are what's known as legal fictions that have privileges rather than rights—franchises of the corporate federal government.


Q: Where will All Rise be seen?
Antoinette: It will be seen on pay per view and DVD and also will be presented as a live theatrical production when and where the opportunities presents itself.
