Unpresidented

Broom Street Theater, Madison’s home for experimental works, presents a series of short plays, all locally written, spanning 200 years of U.S. history. With pieces by some of Madison’s most talented writers, the evening is sure to provoke and inspire. As artistic director Doug Reed puts it, “We hope that those who have been triggered by the events of the last week can find humor and comfort in our wider-lens view of American history.”
