HOUSE OF AMERICAN ACTIVITIES

Photo by Olga Rabetskaya

An original production about the fears, divisions, and governmental overreach shaping the lives of Americans during the 1950s Red Scare. Behind closed doors and in front of the cameras, government officials, Hollywood stars, and powerless Americans grasp for an alternative ending to a story on repeat.
