Living the Dream by Lauren Mueller
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
A bold and inquisitive new play about January 6th from the viewpoint of the idealistic young Democratic staffers trapped inside the Capitol. In a contest between loyalty and what’s right and wrong, team leader Inshata is forced to ask herself how much sacrifice a system can reasonably demand of those who often remain invisible within it. At a time of growing uncertainty about the future of our democracy, this play asks audiences to consider how collective disengagement from the realities of the congressional workplace has shaped the system we now inherit.
