"A Must See!" – BroadwayWorld “The show is so moving it suspends us in belief she is still with us” – DC Theater Arts Written by multiple-Tony Award®-winning playwright Rupert Holmes Starring Michelle Azar as Ruth Bader Ginsburg Directed by: Laley Lippard Over the course of ninety fascinating and often funny minutes, the play presents an intimate portrayal of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a true American original. Holmes invites the audience into the intimacy of RGB’s life and her many trials: Losing her mother the day before she graduated as valedictorian of her Brooklyn high school, being one of only nine young women studying law at Harvard while also raising a daughter and helping her husband battle cancer, fighting for women's rights in the nineteen-seventies before condescending all-male courts...and taking courageous stands for human rights as a voice of reason amid a splintering and increasingly politicized Supreme Court. David Taylor of Dan’s Paper said of this production, “…a powerful teaching tool and an intellectually enriching production for the whole family.” “A uniquely intimate experience that’s absolutely worth exploring”, he continued. An evening with a great and compassionate icon of straight-thinking American justice emerges - an RBG who is not only “notorious” but victorious as she takes a stand for ordinary people facing the many challenges of a changing world. Holmes brilliantly captures RBG’s compelling life leaving no wonder why she became a cross-generational role model inspiring tens of millions of Americans and a world-wide following.

Known for incendiary live shows that turn crowds into communities, The B-Side Players pair dance-floor heat with an uplifting message of unity and brotherhood—music designed to move bodies and bring people together. With a deep catalog (including their release "Revolutionize") and a reputation as hometown heroes and beyond—plus multiple San Diego Music Award wins—the band delivers a live experience that feels like a party, a protest, and a joyful revolution all at once.
