Written by Shawn Northrip, Directed by Jenny McConnell Frederick

Sunday, September 20 at 6:00 pm – The Filling Station in Arlington

An irreverent 1980s punk-rock musical by Arlington native Shawn Northrip, Ronald Reagan and the Ontological Paradox of Intent uses music, humor, and theatrical rebellion to confront the legacy of the Reagan era and its continued resonance today. Directed by Jenny McConnell Frederick, the staged reading will feature live music and a post-show conversation exploring how the play’s themes connect to our present political moment.
