The original cast of Joe DiPietro’s Conscience will come together again for a virtual version of the play with George Street Playhouse October 27 thru 30. Due to the shutdown of theaters throughout the state in March, the world-premiere of the production was canceled just days after it opened.
“We are thrilled to bring this timely play to a virtual stage for our patrons,” said Artistic Director David Saint, who also directed the production. “Our audiences tell us they are eagerly anticipating a return to the theater, so what better way than to bring back this powerful production, using technology that allows patrons to watch from the comfort and safety of their homes.”
The production will reunite the original cast — Harriet Harris as Senator Margaret Chase Smith, Lee Sellers as Senator Joseph McCarthy, Mark Junek as the strategist William C. Lewis, Jr., and Cathryn Wake as Jean Kerr, McCarthy’s researcher and later his wife.
Digital tickets go on sale Friday, October 9th, and can be secured at www.GeorgeStreetPlayhouse.org.
