The People Versus Lenny Bruce tickets

Don't miss out on the FIRST play to focus on the New York trial of Lenny Bruce and his first amendment rights.

The time was 1964. The place, New York City. Lenny Bruce, the comedic icon, was facing obscenity charges. The same Lenny Bruce who became a major character in the hit series "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel". The same Lenny Bruce who was referenced by Jimmy Kimmel, former White House Chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, and the NY Times.

SET UP AND SENTENCED: Herbert S. Ruhe, former CIA agent and witness for the prosecution, said right after the trial: "We picked him out of all the performers. I know he was obscene...Yet, in a way, I felt he had to be convicted."

Over sixty years later our right to free reach is more threatened than over. When our right to speak is put on trial our response is: Don't WATCH what you say. WATCH great theatre!

Each week selected shows are followed by Q&A's with legendary lawyer Martin Garbus; Susan Herman (former President of the ACLU); and famed comedian Lisa Lampanelli.
