About 
"Untitled Houdini Project"
 by Jen Silverman:
In the winter and spring of 1926, Harry Houdini was summoned to a hearing before the House of Representatives, to testify on behalf of a new bill that would make acts of fortune telling illegal.
The newest project by playwright Jen Silverman takes as its starting point the exact
transcript for these Congressional hearings, while weaving in thrilling theatrical séance sequences, and the growing complexity of Houdini's relationship with Rose Mackenberg, Houdini's chief investigator.
Are we to be a country of cold hard facts, scientific data, and honesty? Are we to be a country of comforting possibilities, where the boundary between the living and the dead is crossable if the right guides are permitted to take you? What does it mean to argue over the character of a nation in 1926 And, of course, what does it mean to do that right now?
