The Presidents and the Theater (# 30)

For more than two hundred years the president’s White House stage has welcomed scores of singers, actors, and other artists. With this issue, White House History explores theater at the White House from opera to musical comedy to presidents and Shakespeare. The issue features President and Mrs. Kennedy on the cover in commemoration of their founding of the White House Historical Association 50 years ago. In the photograph, the president and first lady depart Washington’s National Theatre.
