Campaigns, Inc.
Season Extra
By Will Allan

Daytonian Will Allan’s new comedy is a jaw-dropping look at the underbelly of politics as the firm constructs the country’s first star-studded smear campaign

A comedic docudrama based on the actual first American political consulting firm, formed by Leone Baxter and Clem Whitaker, CAMPAIGNS, INC. is a behind‐the‐scenes look at orchestrated political dirty tricks executed through what may be the original "fake news" strategy. With dark humor, the play examines Baxter and Whitaker's propaganda machine that sabotages novelist Upton Sinclair's 1934 bid to become the first Democratic governor of California.
