This Is Government Reading
Join us on April 11 at 7:30pm for a special staged reading of This Is Government, the 2025 Stanley Drama Award–winning play by Nina Kissinger.
It’s summer in Washington, DC. Three congressional interns are fielding constituent calls before yet another workplace lockdown begins. While authorities investigate a suspicious red Camry outside, they’re stuck in the one place no one has ever wanted to work overtime: the U.S. government.
As patience thins and the snack supply dwindles, the interns follow a trail of clues to uncover how this bizarre situation unfolded—and why. Blending satire with sincerity, This Is Government explores the real-time consequences of political disarray with wit, urgency, and heart.
