Content Advisory & Historical Disclaimer


Falls for Jodie is a fictionalized story inspired by the months leading up to the attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan by John Hinckley Jr. While the play references real historical figures and events, the characters, relationships, and situations depicted—particularly the imagined partnership between Hinckley and a hotel concierge near the Yale campus—are dramatized and created for artistic purposes.

This production contains mature material, including strong language, historically accurate slurs, and scenes or references involving sexual abuse and violence.


These elements are presented for narrative and historical context and are not intended to condone harmful behavior.


Viewer discretion is advised.
