“The Ford/Hill Project performs one of theater’s most noble and necessary functions: to shine a light on character itself, to attune the populace to how a person’s acts betoken who they are, and to prompt the polis to pay attention.” - DC Theater Arts

30 years apart, Anita Hill and Christine Blasey Ford provoked a reckoning about who is given the power to shape the future of our country by telling the story of one of the most private moments of their lives in one of the most public settings imaginable.

With an ensemble of four actors speaking from the verbatim transcripts of these pivotal hearings, these two women’s stories can be seen side by side in a new light in Waterwell’s illuminating new production which we are honored to bring to two of the country's most prestigious theaters in the weeks leading up to the consequential 2024 election.

The 2024 production presented at Woolly Mammoth Theater Company & The Public Theatre was generously funded by The NYC Women’s Fund for Media, Music, and Theater by the City of New York Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment in association with The New York Foundation for the Arts.

La MaMa builds audiences that are integral to the creative process. Our local and global community members who gather in our physical, digital, and hybrid spaces to see new work, are often the first audience for that work. The audience response helps to shape the evolution of the piece for the artist, and is an essential part of the creative ecosystem that La MaMa nurtures. La MaMa believes art is a force for change. Violence, discrimination, and systemic racism will not stop without a unified resistance. La MaMa is committed to battling bigotry and intolerance in all its forms, and to providing inclusive spaces for our local, national, and global community.

Under the Radar is a NYC-based festival celebrating new theater and performance works from around the world and down the street, produced and programmed in collaboration with venues throughout the city. Led by Artistic Director Mark Russell, Co-Creative Directors Kaneza Schaal & Meropi Peponides, and Producers Thomas O. Kriegsmann and Sami Pyne, UTR addresses a city, a country, and the world with the voices of innovative multidisciplinary artists speaking to their time. It represents global citizenship, innovation, and a platform for those whose voices have yet to be heard. The Under the Radar Festival began as a beta concept in 2003 co-produced by the University of Texas at Austin and Performance Space 122. The first NYC edition was realized at St. Ann’s Warehouse in 2005, before moving to the Public Theater for the next eighteen years and becoming one of the world’s seminal annual meeting points for producers, presenters, and their international counterparts. The festival mixes international work with national and local artists to give a spotlight on new artists and new global developments in the field, providing a breakout platform for many artists, and introducing them to international presenters and a wider New York and national audience.
