CONVENTION tells the startling true story of the 1944 Democratic National Convention. It's shocking, immersive, and unhinged: 55 actors plunge the audience right into the middle of the chaos. So, you're not just watching a play - you're living the infamous 1944 convention in real time.
What's at stake: in a moment of internal crisis, Democratic Party leaders made a fateful backroom decision that changed the course of history. They ousted incumbent Vice President Henry Wallace - a hugely popular progressive - and installed an obscure Senator named Harry S. Truman. FDR died months later, and with that switch, the party’s progressive wing was shown the door.
Ousting Wallace wasn't just a personnel change; it was a philosophical pivot the party has never truly undone, and it leaves two big, unresolved questions: what would have happened if Wallace had been allowed to lead? And on a human level, how can you make a decision without being swayed by surrounding thoughts?
