It’s nearing midnight in Wyoming, where four young conservatives have gathered at a backyard after-party. They’ve returned home to toast their mentor Gina, newly inducted as president of a tiny Catholic college. But as their reunion spirals into spiritual chaos and clashing generational politics, it becomes less a celebration than a vicious fight to be understood. On a chilly night in the middle of America, Will Arbery’s haunting play offers grace and disarming clarity, speaking to the heart of a country at war with itself.
Please note: a gun is used onstage, and gunshots are heard offstage, during the show. Also, herbal cigarettes are used in this production.

"Stunning and wildly great. HEROES… is incredibly bracing with sneaky, simple brilliance." -Sara Holdren, New York Magazine
5 Stars. "A perfect production that left me with my heart in my mouth." -Helen Shaw, Time Out New York
