TURN THE WASHPOT DOWN is a community performance play that was created several years after Susan Smith drowned her two sons in Union, and the media circus that dimished the town's identity in the aftermath of her horrible crime. The play served as a way for the community to come together again and begin a healing process by sharing their stories and reclaiming a new identity. American Theatre magazine said of this play, "Even if TURN THE WASHPOT DOWN hasn't saved Union's life, it has already saved its soul".
