Hush: an Interview with America

Hush: an Interview with America, by James Still, is a thought-provoking play about the influence of media on American culture, family and staying true to one’s inner spirit. Maggie, a bright, imaginative, twelve-year-old “woman,” leads a peaceful existence in the sleepy town of Hush, Kansas. That is, until TV reporter, Jana Roberts comes through the television screen for a bite of apple pie–and her next big story. Maggie becomes swept up in a whirlwind of media coverage, lions, angels, and the FBI, as she attempts to find her voice and express her inner vision.
