All Things Equal: The Life and Trials of Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Wednesday, March 18, 2026
7:30 PM

About this event

A fascinating and surprisingly funny play by Tony Award-winning playwright Rupert Holmes following the storied career of the late Supreme Court justice.

What to Expect

  • 1.Get there early to park and find your seats; downtown Detroit parking can fill up, so give yourself extra time before the show.
  • 2.Expect a sharp, witty biographical drama that balances humor with serious themes about justice and gender equality.
  • 3.The Fisher Theatre is a traditional proscenium house—center orchestra seats usually give the best view; if stairs are an issue, check accessibility options ahead of time.
  • 4.There’s usually an intermission, so use it to stretch your legs and flip through the program notes to catch details you might have missed.
  • 5.Lobby concessions run before the show and during intermission; grab a drink or snack in the lobby or plan to dine nearby in Midtown before or after.
  • 6.If you’re into Ruth Bader Ginsburg or biographies in general, skim a short bio beforehand to catch references and context during the play.
