IS THIS A ROOM at Milwaukee Chamber Theatre

What does it really mean to honro and defend?

Air Force veteran and NSA translator Reality Leigh Winner thought she was doing the right thing; the government didn’t see it that way.  Chronicling one of the most controversial acts of whistleblowing in American history, this acclaimed Broadway thriller (drawn entirely from an FBI transcript) stages an interrogation with every pause, cough, and contradiction intact—and leaves us to read between the lines. More than docudrama, IS THIS A ROOM is a razor-sharp examination of language, power, and the uneasy tension between truth and duty.

Run Time: 65 minutes
