On the eve of World War II, the German consul to Hollywood tries to stop production on Charlie Chaplin’s first talkie, The Great Dictator. The result is a comedy based on a true story about the powers of art, politics, commerce, and what it means to be American.
Winner of the 2015 Julie Harris Playwright Award Competition and the 2015 Dayton Playhouse FutureFest.
