Created by Maryland Ensemble Theater, Written by Don Thompson

DEMOCRACY: A WORK IN PROGRESS is an innovative, non-linear play that deals with the origins and outcomes of democracy. An original production of the Maryland Ensemble Theater, DEMOCRACY is a unique, entertaining and thought-provoking look at conceptions and mis-conceptions about what democracy has meant throughout history. By humanizing the past and satirizing the present, the play aims to help citizens become more aware of their democratic origins and ideals -- all with a dose of humor and pathos.

"DEMOCRACY: A WORK IN PROGRESS, Don Thompson's historic, philosophical meditation on civic life... looks at both the strength and fragility of participatory government." Jane Horwitz, WASHINGTON POST [read article]

"Art with the most effective messages touches you on such a profound and intimate level that it's hard to put your feelings into words. Such is the case with DEMOCRACY: A WORK IN PROGRESS, which compels audience members to not only think about politics and society, but yourself." -- N. Magruder, MARYLAND GAZETTE

"Just in time for independence day, the Maryland Ensemble Theater has revived DEMOCRACY: A WORK IN PROGRESS. Effective [and] moving… the audience gets a clear picture of democracy as an ever-evolving form of government.” -- J. Wynn Rousuck, Baltimore Sun
