Co-creator and co-star Elizabeth Marvel on the mic on the process behind The Ford/Hill Project. She tells us how the in-ear monitor initially felt like an impediment, but now represents channeling, honesty, and the unassailable courage it takes to speak truth to power.

The Ford/Hill Project is now playing at BAM.

Raw words, raw power.

Thirty years apart, Anita Hill and Christine Blasey Ford shared personal, painful experiences on a national stage, speaking with clarity and courage in the face of scrutiny and skepticism. Heard together now in The Ford/Hill Project, their words resonate across the decades, illuminating the courage it takes to speak truth to power—and the lasting impact of their example. Timely, thought-provoking, and impossible to ignore, this is an essential theatrical experience—and an assertion that history has yet to render the final word.

After every performance, audiences are invited to attend an informal post-show discussion in the lower lobby.

Tickets available now at the link in bio.

That’s a wrap on Summer Sounds! ☀️🎶

This summer, the Adam Space came alive with three free nights of live music and poetry, bringing artists and neighbors together for community, connection, and a little midweek joy.

We’re looking back at the first night, Lô & Tierra: water and earth, featuring Natie and Yaissa Jimenez. Thank you to everyone who joined us across all three concerts and helped make Summer Sounds such a special part of the season.

Three concerts. Free to all. So much to celebrate. 💛
