Conscience

MS5 HEADER

September 16–October 24, 2026

By Joe DiPietro

A regional premiere based on a true story that shaped history.

Margaret Chase Smith stood alone on the Senate floor, summoning the courage to speak the truth. As McCarthyism gripped the nation, she issued her Declaration of Conscience—defying fear, rejecting silence, and holding her party publicly accountable. Though her stand came at a personal cost, her voice changed history forever. This powerful and quietly electrifying story still resonates today.
