In 1751, George Washington saw his first play, The London Merchant, during a visit to Barbados. John Quincy Adams published dramatic critiques. William McKinley avoided the theatre while in office, on professional as well as moral grounds. Richard Nixon met his wife at a community theatre audition. Surveying 255 years, this volume examines presidential theatre-going as it has reflected shifting popular tastes i 517 3 $aAmerican presidents attend the theater 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States$xHistory$vMiscellanea 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States$vBiography$vMiscellanea 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States$xSocial life and customs$vMiscellanea 606 $aTheater audiences$zUnited States$xHistory$vMiscellanea 606 $aTheater$zUnited States$xHistory$vMiscellanea 606 $aPopular culture$zUnited States$xHistory$vMiscellanea 615 0$aPresidents$xHistory 615 0$aPresidents 615 0$aPresidents$xSocial life and customs 615 0$aTheater audiences$xHistory 615 0$aTheater$xHistory 615 0$aPopular culture$xHistory 676 $a792.09 700 $aBogar$b Thomas A.$f1948-$01534045 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797234203321 996 $aAmerican presidents attend the theatre$93781254 997 $aUNINA
