Fatherland\u00a0by Stephen Sachs\u00a0\u00a0is the true story of an 18-year-old son who turned in his father to the FBI for his militant role in the January 6th attack on the US Capitol. Fast paced and powerful,\u00a0Fatherland\u00a0has been hailed as an \u201cextraordinary drama\u201d and a \u201cfinely calibrated, surprisingly affecting new work\u201d by\u00a0The New York Times. This compelling tale is told verbatim from public statements, case evidence, and official court transcripts from the explosive trial that ignited a media frenzy and grabbed headlines nationwide.<\/p>\n

Fatherland\u00a0is directed by PHS Senior Sacha Andrews and stars seniors Ali Atanasio, Elisha Bell, Caleb Canada, and Amelia Carter.<\/p>\n

Stephen Sachs is the award-winning author of 19 plays produced in theaters across the United States and translated worldwide. Sach says, about this play, \u201d\u201cIt doesn\u2019t tell anyone how to vote or what to think or feel. \u201cIt\u2019s about a national issue\u2026 but it really is a tale of this specific family, of this father and this son, a young man who is forced to make a moral decision.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show is rated PG-13,\u00a0best suitable for those in high school and older due to its discussions about political extremism, guns and violence.\u00a0 Please contact producer Kimberly Taylor for questions about content.<\/p>\n

Fatherland\u00a0will run Wednesday, April 1, Thursday, April 2, and Friday, April 3 at 7pm in the Black Box Theater at the Alan Harvey Theater complex at Piedmont High School (the second level Drama Classroom).\u00a0<\/p>\n
