44 Plays for 44 Presidents at The Oil Lamp Theatre

44 Plays For 44 Presidents is a chronologi-cal, biographical survey of the lives and presidencies of each of the 44 men who have held the office so far. Their mistakes and successes are celebrated by a company of actors who take turns donning a star-spangled coat that symbolizes the presi-dency. Beginning with George Washing-ton's almost Eden-like perfection, the scenes shift frequently between the comic and the tragic, from Ben Franklin giving Thomas Jefferson a Borscht Belt-style roast, to the frank portrayal of William Henry Harrison's life as an 'Indian slayer,' and later the grim onset of the Civil War. Act II starts off the twentieth century with the assassination of William McKinley, moves through a Nixon-praising dance number, a George Bush Sr. mini-musical about dirty campaigning and arrives at a polarized America in both the George W. Bush and Barack Obama plays. Audience members consider their role in shaping the history they've just witnessed, as they are left to ponder where the presidency has gone since its fall from paradise...and where it will go next. We will enjoy lunch before the show at Wildfire. #15284 $79 Sun. Oct 23rd 11:00am - 5:30pm

Oh, the kids’ MARRIAGE got off to a great start, but the in-laws’ relationship (or should we call them out-laws?) got off to a bad one. We will enjoy a buffet lunch before the show. #15285 $59 Wed.

Square Dance Fun Join us for some Square Dancing fun with the Arlington Squares Dancing Club.

All of these things you can do while having fun. Country and Western music is tradition-al, but today's Square Dancing can be done to a variety of music that has a good beat. Couples and Singles are Wel-come. No prior dance experience is needed. Dance assistants will be there to guide you. Wear casual clothes and comforta-ble shoes. Come ready to have some Fun!
