Inspired by a true story, Go Down, Moses is set on a college campus in 1985 and follows ethics professor Philip Hoffman and newly appointed Dean of Students Albert Becker—two men bound by a shared history in the Civil Rights Movement—now navigating a new generation of activism. When a student from the South Bronx invites a controversial speaker to campus, long-standing tensions erupt, and questions of free speech, institutional responsibility, and systemic inequity come sharply into focus.
Though set nearly four decades ago, Go Down, Moses speaks directly to the urgent debates shaping today’s campuses and communities—who gets a platform, how institutions respond to extremism, and what safety, inclusion, and accountability truly mean.
Presented by Unlimited Stages.
