About

Pendragon Presents: This Is Government 

Dates: August 27–30, 2025 | Saranac Lake, NY

This Is Government is a sharp, timely new comedy by Nina Kissinger, set in the heart of Washington, DC. When a bomb threat forces a lockdown, three congressional interns are trapped inside their office with nothing but a dwindling snack supply and the weight of a crumbling political system. As they field constituent calls and navigate a growing crisis, they begin to question their roles and the meaning of power within the U.S. government.

Blending humor with real-world tension, This Is Government explores the absurdity, frustration, and heart that comes with working inside a system on the edge.
