"THE ISSUE"
3RD COHORT FRESHMAN FULL ENSEMBLE PRODUCTION
WISCONSIN HISTORICAL SOCIETY | 7PM | FREE

When a controversial comic strip threatens the reputation of an established newspaper, the staff is under pressure to publish a special issue that will restore their status. As reporters reveal self-censored libelous thoughts, their personal secrets boil to the surface. Views, news, sports and political relationships are challenged as writers face their own biases before deadline arrives. This is the story behind true objectivity – revealing intolerance, forced secrets and personal truths -- as told through the lens of hip hop theater.
