Show Info

By Nina Kissinger
Directed by Sarah Norris

It's summer in Washington, DC and three congressional interns are fielding constituent calls before yet another workplace lockdown begins. While everyone outside investigates a suspicious red Camry, they find themselves stuck in the one place no one has ever wanted to work overtime: the US government.

As their patience and snack supply runs out, they follow clues and evidence to get to the bottom of how this situation unfolded and why. A comedy with heart, This is Government grapples with the real-time consequences of political disarray.

Please join us on Sunday, September 21 for a post-show Benefit Reception to celebrate 12 years of New Light Theater Project. The event will include a ticket to the show on the 21st, plus an invite to our post-show celebration, with more details to follow.
