Join us for a weekend celebrating new voices in theatre!

Discord in Concord

Synoposis: When democracy teeters on the brink, how do we protect it? Two brilliant minds, bound by friendship and divided by conviction, confront this question in Discord in Concord — a one-act play followed by a vibrant audience conversation. Ralph Waldo Emerson, America’s champion of self-reliance, and Margaret Fuller, the fiery voice of equality and action, face each other over the threat of tyranny in their time. Their struggle reaches beyond the 19th century to challenge our moment of peril. As their debate ends, the audience steps in. This isn’t just a play. It’s a living conversation about democracy. Step in. The debate needs you.
