In honor of the United States' 250th Anniversary, SJCT is thrilled to present an encore screening of Don Pollards play From This Desk: A Visit from Thomas Jefferson.

Thomas Jefferson, played by Daniel Mayes, gets a chance to talk to you! Playwright and islander Don Pollard moves us into the study of the third President of the United States for a close-up chat that takes us from his efforts to expand the West; to the end of his life and his tumultuous relationship with John Adams; to present day and Jefferson’s take on how the Founding Fathers’ plans have fared.

“This play is about whether there is still relevance to what Thomas Jefferson and the Founding Fathers said and did more than two centuries ago,” said Don.  “At the end of the play, you'll get the drift!"

Originally recorded in 2013, join us for this one-night-only encore performance in celebration of the United States' semiquincentennial!
