Returning to Powerhouse for additional episodes-in-progress is A Simple Herstory, a groundbreaking—Webby Award-honored, Anthem Award-winning and Telly Award-winning—multi-platform audio fiction exploration of the 100+ women who have run for President of the USA. Season 2 revolves around the life and times of Margaret Chase Smith who ran for President in 1964 and borrows from 20th century film styles to create a complex portrait of the Senator from Maine, challenging historical narratives, cultural assumptions, and entrenched myths about American politics. While taking sharp look at the McCarthy era, this presentation will be paired with a meta-theatrical reflection on history and politics.
