The Originalist at The Kavinoky Theatre

The late Justice Antonin Scalia was known to be an “Originalist”-someone who believes that the US Constitution should be interpreted based on the intent of its authors. Scalia’s unexpected death at age 79 threw a wrench into the political arena, but has brought intense interest in this daring new stage play. When a bright, liberal law school graduate embarks on a nerve-wracking clerkship with Justice Scalia, she discovers him to be both an infuriating sparring partner and unexpected mentor. This powerful work depicts passionate people risking heart and soul to defend their interpretation of the truth.
