Philadelphia Premiere // Annenberg Center Debut

A true story, still unfolding. In 2017, 25-year-old former Air Force linguist Reality Winner was surprised at her home by the FBI, interrogated and charged with leaking evidence of Russian interference in our election. She's now in jail with a record-breaking sentence. This "blistering piece of political theater" (ARTFORUM) stages the FBI transcript of what happened as a real-life thriller emerged.

There will be ASL interpretation for the Saturday, September 14 at 2 PM performance. A limited number of seats will be held nearest the interpreter. These seats are first come, first served.

Join us for an artist talk on September 15 at 2 PM at the Cherry Street Pier (121 N. Columbus Boulevard). The discussion will feature Half Straddle’s Tina Satter and FringeArts Artistic Producer Zach Blackwood. RSVP requested >>

Please note, this performance includes a significant amount of water-based haze.
