THE PLOT: In 1937, as America languishes in the grip of the Great Depression, the Mercury Theatre attempts to stage a controversial, pro-union musical titled The Cradle Will Rock. The New York City company, headed by Orson Welles and John Houseman, confronts internal strife, censorship and government interference that threaten to kill the production.

QUOTE: "This play's about the nature of truth, how we define personal and public truth, the powerful role that art can play in defining that truth and the effect that can have on society." -- Director Travis Bailie
