CONSCIENCE

Written by Joe DiPietro - Directed by Alexander Kulcsar

In the 1950s, as Senator Joseph McCarthy lies and bullies his way to power, the only Republican senator with the courage to challenge him is Margaret Chase Smith of Maine. Conscience is the story of a remarkable woman who stood up for what was right and refused to back down.

“CONSCIENCE presents a slice of history, one that will resonate with a modern audience. The show portrays an insightful view of McCarthyism while thoughtfully addressing themes of women in politics, the dangers of demagoguery, and how truth and reason must prevail in society.” —Broadway World.

“A timely boxing match of a history play.” – NY Times

Tickets $21.

Optional 6 PM dinner meetup - venue TBA
