play along with a second play about Johnson called 'Great Society' which takes up where 'All The Way' left off. OSF commissioned the play as part of an ongoing 10 year new play project called 'American Revolutions' which will create 37 new plays about key moments in American History.
This year's American Revolutions play at OSF is 'Roe' by Lisa Loomer about the Roe vs Wade case.

More information on the American Revolutions plays here:
"American Revolutions: The United States History Cycle is OSF’s 10-year program (2008-2017) of commissioning up to 37 new plays sprung from moments of change in United States history. Bringing together artists, historians and institutions from around the country, and mirroring the scope and scale of Shakespeare’s history plays, American Revolutions is the largest commissioning and production project in OSF’s history. Theatre contributes to vision, to conversation, to commitment, to belief, to action and must actively participate in the life of our country. These truths animate OSF’s American Revolutions goals and create value for our participating artists, our fieldwide collaborators and our audiences."
