We stage readings of plays that repudiate, ridicule, or otherwise resist His Magasty. Proceeds from this all-volunteer project go to anti-MAGA groups. playingagainst.com
Join us for a staged reading of "The Three Jessies" by Jessie Seigel, a political comedy that asks, "When fascism comes knocking, what do YOU do?"

Featuring Emily Morrison, Hyla Matthews, and Yvonne Paretsky.

100% of the gross proceeds of this event will go to @freedcproject.bsky.social

Here's a reminder about our next staged reading, with some updated information. We've had a late cast change, and we're donating the proceeds to @democracyforward.bsky.social , the people who got a judge to halt the Trump-Musk spending freeze. See link in bio for tickets!

The front lines of the battle against MAGA have shifted from electoral politics to the courts. We thank @democracyforward.bsky.social for the lawsuit that got the funding freeze paused. Proceeds from our reading of Group of Crazies will go to Democracy Forward. playingagainst.com/tc-events/gr...

There are no adults in the room for Trump 2.0. We came close to disaster even when there were. Hear about a meeting so unhinged that Rudy Giuliani was a voice of reason.

The most important things we can do in opposition to the incoming regime are to provide financial support to groups like the ACLU and to build and maintain a community of like-minded people. Minimum donation $5. Ticket purchase (minus a small processing fee from the payment platform) goes to ACLU.
