And in the process, they helped shape the Constitution and the course of American history.

Talkbacks allow the audience to ask questions and express their thoughts and ideas on issues revealed in the play through the form of meaningful discussion with the cast or panel guests. The opportunity is included with ticket purchase.
Audio Descriptor Performance: For theatregoers who are blind, or have moderate to severe vision loss, the Alliance will provide a specially-trained describer on January 27 who will verbalize what’s happening on stage during pauses in dialogue.
