"Why read the Mueller Report at Arena Stage? As a theater focused on American plays and American stories, the Mueller Report is a far-reaching and intricate American story about DC and the people in it. This is our city and so many of these events happened here. It’s a community service to read the report with a multiplicity of voices from the world of the arts and politics and everyday citizens.”

— Artistic Director Molly Smith

Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater, in association with activist and actress Jjana Valentiner, held a public, nonpartisan 11-hour marathon reading of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Report. Over 200 participants read through Volume II of the report. Readers represented a variety of professions from historians to lawyers, performing arts leaders to stay-at-home moms, young activists, civic leaders and more.

The Washington, D.C. event was inspired by the success of the inaugural 24-hour reading, originally conceived by Director Jackson Gay (Arena’s Kleptocracy).
