THE FORD/HILL PROJECT
October 16 - October 20, 2024 Run Time: 67 minutes, no intermission
New York Premiere
THE FORD/HILL PROJECT 
A Waterwell Production
Presented by Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company and The Public Theater
Created by Lee Sunday Evans and Elizabeth Marvel
Directed by Lee Sunday Evans
Thirty years apart, Anita Hill and Christine Blasey Ford provoked a reckoning about who is given the power to shape the future of our country by telling the story of one of the most private moments of their lives in one of the most public settings imaginable. With an ensemble of four actors speaking verbatim from the transcripts of these pivotal hearings, these two women’s stories and their consequential impact on our nation can be seen side by side in a new light in Waterwell’s illuminating new production.
THE FORD/HILL PROJECT will first be presented at Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company on Monday, October 7, the day the Supreme Court begins the 2024-25 term.
Featuring Dylan Baker, Eric Berryman, Amber Iman, and Elizabeth Marvel
After each performance, there will be a post-show conversation discussing the show's timely themes and the real-life inspiration of Christine Blasey Ford and Anita Hill's testimonies. Scroll down to learn more.
