The Ford/Hill Project
It’s a busy fall! On top of directing A Bright Room Called Day, this week I start rehearsals for Associate Directing The Ford/Hill Project, first at BAM in Brooklyn and then at REDCAT in LA.
I saw this show when it was at Under the Radar at the start of the year, and I’m so thrilled to be joining the team as it travels around the US this fall.
Get tickets for the show at BAM and then come hang with me at REDCAT, where I’ll be leading the West Coast Premiere with an amazing cast.
The Ford/Hill Project transforms the Senate testimony of Anita Hill and Christine Blasey Ford into a gripping evening of theater, performed by a cast of luminary LA actors, including Rosemarie DeWitt, Betty Gabriel, Dulé Hill, and Jerry O’Connell. Thirty years apart, Anita Hill and Christine Blasey Ford shared private, painful experiences on a national stage during nomination proceedings for the Supreme Court, speaking with clarity and confidence in the face of questioning and skepticism. With an ensemble of four actors speaking from the verbatim transcripts of these hearings, these two women’s stories resonate across decades, illuminating the emotional weight and historical significance of these pivotal hearings. Heard together now, their testimonies demonstrate the courage it takes to speak truth to power.
