Stage Preview: Hazo harks back to McCarthyism in new play

Post Gazette: "In 1950, screenwriter Dalton Trumbo went to prison, where he remained for nearly a year. As one of the infamous Hollywood Ten, Dalton was convicted of contempt of Congress for refusing to answer the questions of the House Un-American Activities Committee about communist activity in Hollywood. Trumbo won two Oscars under pseudonyms during the 1950s but, because he was blacklisted, didn't receive a screen credit again until 1960."
