Courting Harry: A Supreme Court Drama at History Theatre, Running May 16th Through June 7th

Courting Harry, presented at the History Theatre from May 16th through June 7th, offers a smart, funny, and deeply intriguing look at the 70-year friendship between St. Paul natives Chief Justice Warren Burger and Justice Harry Blackmun. Hailed by the Star Tribune as “excellent drama, rich history, and illuminating psychology,” Lee Blessing’s acclaimed play traces the men’s journey from their shared childhood neighborhood to the highest court in the nation. As the two lifelong friends face history-making decisions—including the landmark Roe v. Wade case—their unbreakable bond is tested by conflicting ideologies and the dynamic tensions of America’s most contentious legal battles.
