Conceived and directed by Frank Mancino with malice aforethought, "A White House Tale" updates the Dickens classic Christmas story. The President (Kim Curtis), who is also son of a President, is visited at his cot in the Lincoln Bedroom by former occupants of the mansion.
Among them are FDR
Winston Churchill,
Eleanor Roosevelt,
and Helen Thomas.
There's a hilarious bit on how she can be a ghost when she hasn't died yet. After all, it is improv.
When Dubya runs out of vacuous cliches, he reaches for quotes furnished by members of the audience. So pull out that Bush Quote of the Day calendar. If you're going to enjoy this show, you probably have one.
For more photos from "A White House Tale," head on over to my Bonnie Briar Productions web site. You'll be welcome there, podner.
Cheers.
Bob
