Commander

by Mario Correa
Directed by Kathleen Tissot

In this award-winning darkly comedic play, an ambitious politician battles public doubts, personal demons, and his own partner in a troubled quest to become President of the United States.

COMMANDER centers on the complicated relationship between Ned Worley, a former college professor who becomes Governor of Rhode Island, and his openly gay partner, Richard, who sees little to gain – and much to lose – from Ned’s bid for the Presidency.

Ned’s campaign is managed by Frank Sands, a hardened operative determined to extract little more than a payday, and Zack Maines, an idealistic young aide who may be the only one who grasps the true stakes of Ned’s candidacy.
