The Third Wave

by Joseph Robinette & Ron Jones

 A compelling stage drama by Ron Jones and Joseph Robinette, dramatizing the real-life 1967 classroom experiment in fascism conducted by teacher Ron Jones at Cubberley High School in Palo Alto. Intended as an eye-opening demonstration of how easily authoritarianism can take hold, the simulation spiraled out of control as students eagerly embraced discipline, conformity, and exclusivity. The play powerfully illustrates the dangers of groupthink, the lure of power, and the fragility of democratic values when society succumbs to intimidation and fear.
