The Originalist
By John Strand
Directed by Molly Smith
Co-production with Asolo Repertory Theatre and Pasadena Playhouse
Kreeger Theater
July 7 – August 6, 2017
Four-time Helen Hayes Award winner Edward Gero returns as Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, offering audiences another opportunity to see his “lively performance” (Washington Post) in this special limited engagement. When a bright, liberal, Harvard Law School graduate embarks on a nerve-wracking clerkship with the conservative Justice, she discovers him to be both an infuriating sparring partner and an unexpected mentor. How will their relationship affect one of the most incendiary cases ever to reach the nation’s highest court? Don’t miss your opportunity to experience the show afresh with a brand-new staging for the Kreeger Theater.
Special post-show conversations with notable guest panelists
Panelists include Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg; journalists Jess Bravin & Nina Totenberg;
