SHOW SYNOPSIS:
46 PLAYS FOR AMERICA’S FIRST LADIES leaps from comic to tragic as it surveys the lives of the women who have served (and avoided serving) as First Lady, from Martha Washington to Melania Trump. The play is an ensemble-driven, biographical "madcap" history lesson exploring the lives, duties, and political roles of U.S. First Ladies.
ROLES TO BE CAST:
Actors play multiple roles in a variety of diverse “plays” both musical and non-musical including monologues, rock songs and ballads, waltzes and other dances , puppet shows, mimes, tableaus, monologues and a stand-up routine.
