Hope's Choice

An annotated script of the Street Theater performance.

Overview from the Director

Question everything; the tobacco industry, this script, assumptions – yours and those of others.

To assist you in your inquiry, I have listed all of the resources I used in the scripting of this play and I encourage you to look at the quotes in their original context. I hope you enjoy the script and pictures and I look forward to seeing you at the show! -Naomi Stein, Director
