The judgment of an untested president is all that stands between us and WWIII.

Johann Mobius, the world’s greatest physicist, is locked away in a madhouse along with two other scientists. Why? Because he is haunted by recurring visions of King Solomon, and the other two are convinced they are Einstein and Newton. But are these three actually mad? Or are they playing a murdererous game with the world at stake?

This play is a powerful account of the case filed by the American Federation for Equal Rights (AFER) in the U.S. District Court in 2010 to overturn Proposition 8, a constitutional amendment that eliminated the rights of same-sex couples to marry in the state of California. Framed around the trial's historic closing arguments in June 2010, 8 provides an intimate look at what unfolded when the issue of same-sex marriage was on trial.

Drawing from trial documents, newspaper accounts, and writings of the key players, Moisés Kaufman ignites an incendiary mix of sex and censorship, with a cast of characters ranging from George Bernard Shaw to Queen Victoria herself.

Soon they realize that three voices are stronger than one. And since their school has no speech and debate squad, maybe this is their chance to be heard at last - by the school and even the world.

We Need a Jack Kennedy, again!
I’m a Republican, generally a moderate conservative. But I’ve always admired Jack Kennedy. He wasn’t a perfect human. He had his flaws as history has revealed (as other Presidents have had). But he was first and foremost a patriot who valued what our country stands for. His careful, contemplative, and reasoned approach to the Cuban Missile Crisis saved the world from nuclear Armageddon. This dramatic retelling of the events of those days should be listened to by most Americans. It’s an excellent performance!
My hope and prayer is that our current administration will be up to this task…but I don’t believe that our President, Vice President, or Cabinet are of the same mettle as existed in the Cuban Missile Crisis. Unfortunately the world is again faced with the open aggression of the Russians against a world that desires peace. Let’s hope, somehow, we again avoid the abyss.
