UP NEXT: CONSCIENCE

Buckle up for what the New York Times called “A timely boxing match of a history play.”

In 1950, Margaret Chase Smith was the junior Senator from Maine and the only woman in the Senate. A staunch Republican, she nevertheless bucked her party and the prevailing winds of politics when she took to the floor of the Senate to denounce Senator Joseph McCarthy in a speech she called,, “a declaration of conscience.”

Conscience, a smart, witty play about a woman who stood on principle, no matter the cost, comes to the AET stage March 12-29.
