Swing States aims to explore the people and places that will decide the most consequential election in American history, ranging from an old-fashioned Iowa pie competition, existential lobsters, and fracking in Pennsylvania, among other Election Day happenstances!

We hope you’ll consider donating to our fundraiser and at the very least, join us for this free, donate-if-you-will evening of new American(and Chicago!) microplays!
