Are You Now or Have You Ever Been?

The Kinder HSPVA Theatre Department presents ARE YOU NOW OR HAVE YOU EVER BEEN?Are You Now or Have You Ever Beenis the perfect pairing to Arthur Miller’sThe Crucible, which is being presented in conjunction with this docudrama."Fame offered no protection and political pressure could end a career." The 1972 docudrama uses the real-life congressional transcripts of artists, writers, and performers (such as Arthur Miller, Paul Robeson, Elia Kazan, Lillian Hellman, and Lionel Stander) who faced the impossible choice of naming names, protecting their careers, or facing the blacklist. This historical docudrama as both an urgent warning about civil liberties and a gripping, true-to-life courtroom thriller.
