— THE DAY THAT SHOOK AMERICA —

  The MAGA movement is a frontal assault on history itself (All those resurrected Confederate statues!). But Trump’s minions would also rewrite history to glorify the January 6 insurrection. On its coming anniversary, WDA says No to that, as the Democracy Theater Project rolls out its fourth play to be staged in dozens of venues across the nation: January 6: A Day Forever. Yet another free and easily mounted script, this one takes off from The Congressional Record’s starkly factual recounting of the day that shook America and shakes it still. The actual Trump! The Actual January 6! We invite you—as members & partners—to present your own version of “January 6: A Day Forever” on or around January 6, 2026.

[This script was drawn from the Congressional Record of the Second Impeachment Trial of Donald J. Trump by James Carroll and Rachel DeWoskin.]
