The Debates: Countdown Cabaret

Thursday, ​June  6, 2019
The Episcopal Actors' Guild

The first debates are just weeks away.​
Where is the national imagination? Where should it be?
Who will be in the debates? How should they prepare?
What should be asked of the candidates at the first debate?
Who is running, who should be running?

Join us for a night of theater and questions.
