Age 2 yrs+ require a ticket for entry A Comic Drama Trailblazing Maine Senator Margaret Chase Smith was the first senator to stand on the Senate floor and publicly rebuke Senator Joseph McCarthy, who rose to power using post-World War II anti-Communist hysteria and ruined the lives of those who opposed him. Margaret Chase Smith's "Declaration of Conscience" speech was a public act of defiance at a time when both Democrats and Republicans were cowed into silence for fear of retribution. "The show portrays an insightful view of McCarthyism while thoughtfully addressing themes of women in politics, the dangers of demagoguery, and how truth and reason must prevail in society." - BroadwayWorld
