Heroes of the Fourth Turning at The Warehouse Theatre

Drama by Will Arbery
Directed by Jay Briggs

It’s nearing midnight in Wyoming, where four young conservatives have gathered at a backyard after-party two days before the 2017 eclipse and a week after the Charlottesville riot. They’ve returned home to toast their mentor Gina, newly inducted as president of a tiny Catholic college. As their reunion spirals into spiritual chaos and clashing generational politics, it becomes less a celebration and more a vicious fight to be understood. Will Arbery’s haunting play offers grace and disarming clarity, speaking to the heart of a country at war with itself.

A Pulitzer Prize finalist, this play is an open and honest dialogue about the restlessness of the heart, how generations define their politics and beliefs, and how in order to understand others we can’t immediately judge them. It’s another unicorn play, a play that has things to say to both sides of the political spectrum.
