From Memorial Day to Labor Day 2004, we are asking Americans to write open letters to our President. Many of these letters will be read aloud on stage in October 2004. We encourage participation by individuals from all political viewpoints to write letters covering a wide range of issues. It is our hope that by reading these letters aloud in a theatrical context, we create a contemporary portrait of America.

If you are interested in presenting this production in your town, let us know!
