What if I told you that it was the 1960s and right out your front door, people are panicking about civil rights, a freezing cold war and missiles stationed in Havana? Crazy, right? Now what if I told you although no one knows you exist, you’re arguably one of the biggest reasons everyone is panicking?

That’s even crazier, but it’s completely true.

Debuting at Arena Stage Theatre, “Change Agent” is a Craig Lucas original piece that touches upon history’s most influential but unknown playmakers. People that were at the scene of every debacle, but managed to fly under the radar. It’s somewhat horrifying to think that there are powerful people hiding in the margins of history, but nonetheless it makes for a hell of a show.

“Change Agent” premieres on January 21 and closes March 6.
