A high school instructor teaches that Baron von Steuben, the Revolutionary War hero, was gay… Conservative School Board members plot changes in district policies… And conflict erupts. Ben Franklin and Baron von Steuben are compelled to step in to set the record straight, so to speak, in this new play about what happens when history speaks up for itself. And, by the way, Franklin and von Steuben are played by women in drag.
Performances are May 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 20, 21 at 7:30 PM, at TAPIT/new works Theater, 1957 Winnebago Street. For tickets, go to www.brownpapertickets.com. For information, contact info@tapitneworks.org, or call 608.244.2938
