The Mosinee Project

Mosinee, Wisconsin, 1950. An idyllic Midwestern town is about to wake up to a nightmare.
 
A shadowy group of hardline activists are planning. Armed forces will imprison the townspeople. Communications will be cut off. Barbed wire fences will be erected. Prices will be changed. The Mayor will be held at gunpoint. And the hammer and sickle flag will be flown from every building.
 
But will they be able to pull it off? And will any of it be enough? Will America pay attention to the story they are trying to tell?
 
Plunging into the dawn of the Cold War and back again, The Mosinee Project follows the true story of a fake invasion. A fevered, darkly funny reconstruction, interrogating how we wrestle with our fears and turn them into stories. This Untapped Award 2024 winning show arrives at NDT fresh from a sell-out Edinburgh Fringe run.
