Joe DiPietro’s Conscience is a play that chronicles the political rivalry between Maine Senator Margaret Chase Smith and Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy during the McCarthy era’s anti-communist fervor. Set in 1950s Washington D.C., it focuses on the events leading up to and following Smith’s famous 1950 “Declaration of Conscience” speech, which condemned McCarthy’s tactics of fear and manipulation. The play explores themes of political power, integrity, and the courage it takes to speak truth to power, set against the backdrop of the American “Red Scare.”

Predictor by Jennifer Blackmer tells the remarkable true story of Margaret “Meg” Crane, the woman who invented the first home pregnancy test in 1967. What began as a simple idea in a pharmaceutical lab became a revolutionary tool that gave women privacy, autonomy, and answers in their own homes.
This sharp, funny, and surreal new play takes audiences inside Meg’s whirlwind of imagination and determination as she battles corporate resistance, societal expectations, and her own doubts. Moving fluidly through past, present, and future, Predictor is both an absurdist comic romp, game show, and a heartfelt exploration of what it means to fight for agency in a world determined to silence you.
