SCAPEGOAT;
OR (WHY THE DEVIL ALWAYS LOVED US)
Written by Connor McNamara
Directed by Kristina Valada-Viars
April 14 - May 7, 2017
Over two generations the Porters have cultivated their legacy as “The New Roosevelts." As a Religious Freedom bill bullies its way through Congress, their political dynasty is suddenly threatened when a story leaks claiming the family patriarch is a Satanist. With his eyes set on a future nomination to the Supreme Court, Anse Porter is forced to choose between having the life he’s worked for, and sacrificing all for the people he serves. Loyalties to family, faith, country and self are tested in this twisted story of The Porter Family as they struggle through the wreckage of America's crumbling wall between church and state.
