Experience a bold theatrical portrait of a nation in motion as we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary. Presented as part of our Reading Series, U.S.A., adapted by Paul Shyre from the groundbreaking trilogy by John Dos Passos, captures the energy, ambition, and upheaval of early 20th-century America through a tapestry of voices, headlines, songs, and personal stories. Fast-moving and strikingly relevant, the play offers a vivid reflection on the American experiment — its promise, its contradictions, and its enduring search for identity.
