Audiences have been mesmerized since February by the riveting true story of the 19-year-old son who testified against his father in federal court after informing the FBI of his dad’s involvement in the Jan 6 attack on the Capitol. Following a three-week hiatus, the production will return for an additional five weeks of performances from **June 22** through **July 21**. Fast-moving, powerful, and theatrical, *Fatherland* erupts verbatim from official court transcripts, case evidence, and public statements.
