SUMMARY:Scripts in Spotlight: Conscience by Jo DiPietro
DESCRIPTION:Be part of PTC’s lively Play Reading Series! Each month\, 
 a rotating cast of PTC actors and special guests bring a brand-new play 
 to life in an intimate\, one-night-only reading.\n\n\n\nThis month’s p
 ick: Conscience by Jo DiPietro\n\n\n\nSynopsis: Margaret Chase Smith was
  a woman of firsts: In 1940\, she was the first woman elected by the sta
 te of Maine to serve in Congress\; nine years later she was the first wo
 man the state elected to the Senate. And in 1950\, she became the first 
 senator to stand on the Senate floor and publicly rebuke Senator Joseph 
 McCarthy of Wisconsin\, who rose to power using post–World War II anti
 -Communist hysteria and ruined the lives of those who opposed him. Marga
 ret Chase Smith’s “Declaration of Conscience” speech was a public 
 act of defiance at a time when both Democrats and Republicans were cowed
  into silence for fear of retribution. It came at a cost: She was shunne
 d by her colleagues\, challenged in a primary\, and McCarthy threatened 
 to expose her personal secrets. CONSCIENCE is the story of a remarkable 
 woman who stood up for what was right and refused to back down.
