Robert Schenkkan's Tony Award-winning drama All the Way is set in the turbulent months following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, following President Lyndon B. Johnson as he navigates the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 while balancing the political realities of an election year. At the heart of the play is the uneasy alliance between Johnson and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as both men fight to shape the future of a divided nation. Sherman Howard portrays President Lyndon B. Johnson, with R.J. Foster as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and an ensemble cast including Raphael Nash Thompson, John Little, Gerrard James, Angela Della Ventura, Robert S. Gregory, Michael Stewart Allen, Paul Henry, and Clark Carmichael. The reading is directed by Chris Hietikko and is the third installment of the Revolutionary Voices play reading series, a celebration of America's 250th anniversary.
