Gabby Beans Will Play Anita Hill in The Ford/Hill Project at BAM

BAM announced the complete cast for The Ford/Hill Project, a Waterwell production created by Elizabeth Marvel and Obie winner Lee Sunday Evans, who also directs. The Ford/Hill Project runs September 8–20 at the BAM Fisher.

Marvel reprises her role as Christine Blasey Ford, which she played at the Under the Radar Festival. Joining Marvel are four-time Obie winner Gabby Beans as Anita Hill, Teagle Bougere as Clarence Thomas, and Josh Hamilton reprising his role as Brett Kavanaugh.

The Ford/Hill Project brings the verbatim Senate testimony of Anita Hill and Christine Blasey Ford to the stage using a script created entirely from the transcripts of these two Supreme Court confirmation hearings, thirty years apart.

Rachel Graham’s review for TheaterMania reads, “Co-creators Lee Sunday Evans and Elizabeth Marvel choose subtlety at every moment, crafting a show that is gripping instead of preachy.”

The creative team includes co-sound designer and audio editor Jeffrey Salerno, co-sound designer Mikhail Fiksel, lighting designer Oona Curley, costume coordinator Amanda Roberge, and original props designer Faye Armon-Troncoso.
