SUMMARY:Faction of Fools presents "How the Sausage Gets Made"
DESCRIPTION:How The Sausage Gets Made\nBY THE DEVISING ENSEMBLE OF FACTION OF FOOLS\nat Capitol Hill Arts Workshop\n545 7TH STREET\, SE WASHINGTON DC\nJuly 17 – August 9\, 2025\nCLICK HERE FOR TICKETS\nThe Fools take on the biggest circus in town with this original political comedy… \nFamily friendly\, contains some PG-13 humor \nOpen Captioned Performance Dates: Thursday\, July 31st 730pm\, Friday\, August 1st 730pm\, Saturday\, August 2nd 2pm and Saturday\, August 2nd at 730pm \nMedical Mask Required Performances: Saturday\, July 26th at 2pm\, Saturday\, August 2nd at 2pm\, and Saturday\, August 9th at 2pm. Masks will be available at the box office at all performances. \nFaction of Fools Theatre Company\, DC’s Commedia dell’Arte theatre company\, continues its sweet 16th Season with a brand new\, ensemble-devised political comedy: HOW THE SAUSAGE GETS MADE. Freshman Congressman Nathan Newbright explodes onto the DC political scene with hope and gumption to accomplish the impossible: passing a bill. In a world where a Chorus of Media is always watching and your adversary is not necessarily from across the aisle\, Newbright navigates the duality that the purpose of government is to help people\, but it is run by…people. HOW THE SAUSAGE GETS MADE is a political comedy written by a diverse ensemble that embodies the zeitgeist of Washington DC in 2025. Working with a dramaturgical Political Consultant\, Faction of Fools created a story bubbling with magical realism but reflective of the absurdity of American politics. Faction of Fools has entertained audiences since 2009 through the hallmarks of Commedia dell’Arte: masks\, physical comedy\, and recognizable archetypes. At its core\, Commedia dell’Arte is a form that pokes fun at society\, often making fun of the powerful and celebrating the triumph of the powerless. The Fools seek such triumph with earnestness\, comedy\, and hope. \nDirected by: Francesca Chilcote\nStage Manager: Samantha Nodarse Owen\nAssociate Director: Natalie Cutcher\nProduction Manager: Cris Ruthenberg-Marshall \nStarring: Rebecca Ballinger\, Robert Pike\, Andrew Quilpa\, Jesse Terrill\, Arika Thames\, and Kathryn Zoerb \nUnderstudies: Danny Puente Cackley\, Caitlin Frazier\, and Isabelle Jennings Pickering \n  \nProduction Team \nScenic Design: Johnny Weissgerber \nLighting Design: William K.

DESCRIPTION:FEAR AND MISERY IN DC: THEATER TO INSPIRE COMMUNITY RESISTANCE \nFear and Misery in the Third Reich follows the lives of everyday citizens during Hitler’s rise to power.
