New York City
Art and politics collide when the government’s Work Progress Administration shuts down director Orson Welles’ new pro-union musical, The Cradle Will Rock, in 1937. With the theatre doors padlocked, Welles, along with producer John Houseman and the company of actors work frantically to save the production and make their voices heard. It’s All True is a fast-paced and brilliantly witty comedy that brings to life a defining moment in the history of American theatre.
