    The Obie Award-winning theatre/media company Waterwell presents The Ford/Hill Project, a powerful and timely production tackling power, politics, and gender. 30 years apart, Anita Hill and Christine Blasey Ford provoked a reckoning about who is given the power to shape the future of our country by telling the story of one of the most private moments of their lives in one of the most public settings imaginable: the confirmation hearings of Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh, respectively.
