As Amy Herzog's After the Revolution begins, we find the Joseph family celebrating the graduation of Emma Joseph from law school. The young, brilliant Emma Joseph proudly carries the torch of her family's Marxist tradition by devoting her life to the memory of her famously blacklisted grandfather. When history reveals a shocking truth about the man himself, the entire family is forced to confront questions of honesty and an allegiance they thought had been long resolved. After The Revolution is a bold and hilariously moving portrait of an American family forced to reconcile a thorny and delicate legacy.

The cast includes Dana Black, Tasha Ann James, Mike Nussbaum, Marvin Quijada, Phil Ridarelli, Christine Stulik, Mary Ann Thebus and Mick Weber. The production team is made up of set design: Keith Pitts, lighting design: Heather Gilbert, costume design: Elizabeth Flauto and sound design: Chris Kriz.
