CHANGING CHANNELS at City Lit Theater Company

**CHANGING CHANNELS** Written by John Reeger Directed by Kevin Theis [https://www.citylit.org/shows/45-cc](https://www.citylit.org/shows/45-cc) Based on actual events, Changing Channels is set backstage at the DuMont Television Network in New York City in 1952. It is the peak of the “Red Scare” and 151 actors, authors, and journalists are put on the Red Channels list, with alleged ties to communism. As Cold War hysteria sweeps the nation, actress Maggie Carlin finds herself accused just as her hit comedy show is taking off. Running time is just under two hours with one intermission. *** TICKETS: SPECIAL DISCOUNTED PRICE: $28.00 USE DISCOUNT CODE: **MEETUP** BUY TICKETS ONLINE: [https://ci.ovationtix.com/36834/production/1235399](https://ci.ovationtix.com/36834/production/1235399) BUY TICKETS BY PHONE: (773) 293-3682 GENERAL ADMISSION SEATING ADDITIONAL TICKET BUYING NOTES: • YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR BUYING YOUR OWN TICKET. • DO NOT RSVP YES UNTIL YOU HAVE BOUGHT YOUR TICKET. • REPEAT!!
