“A perfectly cast John Rubinstein, brings our 34th president back to life in a drama filled with timely political lessons from a leader who strove to put country over party.” - Los Angeles Times
Tony Award winner John Rubinstein (Pippin, Children of a Lesser God) stars as President Dwight D. Eisenhower in Eisenhower: This Piece of Ground, a new American play by Richard Hellesen and directed by Peter Ellenstein. Eisenhower: This Piece of Ground is a candid and fascinating fictional eavesdropping on President Dwight D. Eisenhower at his Gettysburg, Pennsylvania farm. Experience this new critically acclaimed work in the town that Eisenhower called home, and in the theater that he regularly attended!
As part of the Majestic Theater's centennial season, we honor our history and close association with one of the most consequential figures of the 20th century. Eisenhower: This Piece of Ground is adapted from a vast array of General Eisenhower's memoirs, speeches, and letters, and is set just a mile away in Eisenhower's Gettysburg farm.
These performances are made possible in part by the Majestic Theater Centennial Endowment Fund.
