Hail to the Chiefs

Comments (0) By Robin Edwards Thursday, Oct 18 2012

As we cast our ballots to vote for our next president, Square Product Theatre — in conjunction with 43 other theater groups around the nation — will help us remember the other 44 chiefs of state who’ve won in elections past. The regional premier of 44 Plays for 44 Presidents will feature a five-person cast performing two-minute vignettes — everything from a hilarious musical tribute to Richard Nixon’s non-Watergate political accomplishments to a poignant look at the personal tragedies Abraham Lincoln faced in his lifetime.

More About

The Plays for Presidents Festival, as the project is being called nationwide, will culminate in a video composite of the productions, with the Colorado group contributing a tape of their Teddy Roosevelt performance.

“What we really hope people walk away with is that these are the men we’ve chosen at one point or another to lead our nation,” says director Emily K. Harrison. “And sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn’t. But ultimately, the choice does lie in our hands.” The audience will get to make a choice of their own at the end of the night by voting for the subject of the 45th play they’ll see: second-term Barack Obama or Mitt Romney.
