Groove/Factory presents
Heroes of the Fourth Turning
August 6-9, 2026
Overview
By Will Arbery
Directed by Luci Thomas
Set over a single night in rural Wyoming, Heroes of the Fourth Turning brings together four young Catholics and their mentor to wrestle with faith, politics, friendship, and the future of America. As conversations unfold, deeply held beliefs clash, alliances shift, and vulnerabilities surface. Intellectually rigorous and emotionally charged, the play challenges both its characters and its audience to confront the complexities of conviction and belonging.
“Heroes of the Fourth Turning” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.
