The television commercial that changed American politics ran just once — but once was enough.
Daisy by Sean Devine is a compelling and provocative drama that delves into the power of media and the impact of political advertising. Set during the 1964 U.S. presidential campaign, the play centers around the creation of the infamous “Daisy” television ad, which forever changed the landscape of political marketing. Through the eyes of a talented ad team, the story explores themes of manipulation, fear, and the quest for power. With its sharp dialogue and intense performances, Daisy offers a riveting exploration of how media can shape public perception and the course of history, making it a thought-provoking experience for contemporary audiences.
Run time is approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes, including a 15 minute intermission
Rated: PG-13

This has been accomplished under the capable leadership of the current chair, Lisa WolfKlain, the former chair, Paul Regan, Gary Harris, and several others in the past. Hillbarn is the sixth oldest continuously operating amateur theater company in the nation and is the oldest company in San Mateo County. Since 1995, Hillbarn has won a Theater Critics Circle Award, was accepted at the Edinburgh Theatre Festival, was honored with several mayoral proclamations for excellence in theatrical production and education, three Dean Goodman Awards for Artistic Excellence, and a Foster City Honors Award for the Executive Director in 2003. In an interview, former Artistic Director Scott Williams said: “Hillbarn is an idea. Hillbarn began as a vision of Bob and Sam, essentially, and it has stayed coalesced around their vision. People who came here understood they had the vision, and it was an extraordinary one…They created a good feeling, a great viable organization, and they had a marvelous ability to bring people into the process.” Hillbarn is more than just a place, it’s a community that will remain forever a legacy to their memories and a benefit to the cultural life of not only the citizens of Foster City, but all who share in its community ideals.
