April 12-May 5, 2019; Fri-Sat at 8pm; Sun at 2pm
Commissioned by the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and winner of the Tony and Drama Desk awards for Best Play, Robert Schenkkan's All the Way is a riveting look at the morality of power as it chronicles the critical year in American politics from the assassination of John F. Kennedy in November 1963 to the landslide election of Lyndon Johnson in November 1964. Johnson's masterful manipulation of the rules of the Senate in the passage of the landmark Civil Rights Bill; the murder of Andrew Goodman, James Chaney, and Michael Schwerner during Freedom Summer; the Gulf of Tonkin incident; and the defection of the Southern states, led by Strom Thurmond, to the Republican party; test the mettle of the "accidental" president as he works feverishly to enact his legislative agenda before time runs out.
