Theatre - Of Thee I Sing

Click to view larger image

Bachelor candidate John P. Wintergreen runs for president on a campaign of love. Presciently, the show sees many beauty pageant contestants “audition” to be Wintergreen’s wife and therefore provide the White House with a First Lady.  A triangle forms when Wintergreen picks secretary Mary Turner though Miss Louisiana Diana Devereaux wins the contest set up by Wintergreen’s campaign advisors. As if there was any doubt, Wintergreen wins the election in the first act. Devereaux seeks revenge and enlists the French Ambassador to help her. The two concoct a scheme in which she claims to be an illegitimate descendant of Napoleon, and the Ambassador threatens to turn this scandal of the heart into an international affair, with the goal to impeach the President for breach of promise.
