The Show
Margaret Chase Smith was a woman of firsts: In 1940, she was the first woman elected by the state of Maine to serve in Congress; nine years later she was the first woman 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. Conscience is the story of a remarkable woman who stood up for what was right and refused to back down.
 
 
Available Roles –
 
Margaret Chase Smith – 50’s
·      A Senator from Maine. Firm, elegant, no nonsense with a caustic wit and a fierce determination. 
 
Senator Joe McCarthy – 40’s
·      The junior Senator from Wisconsin. Loud, crass, reckless, unmannered, unmarried and very, very effective. 
 
William Lewis – 30’s
·      Senator Chase's executive assistant and her right hand. Handsome, bright and educated, impeccably dressed. He knows the ins and outs of Washington.
 
Jean Kerr – 20’s
·      A young acolyte of McCarthy's. Bright and educated and fiercely loyal. She has grown accustomed to being underestimated.
