On September 27, the Hugh Gregory Gallagher Motivational Theatre will present “Inside Uncle Rosy’s White House: An Evening with Franklin Delano Roosevelt” at 7:30pm at the Avalon Theatre in Easton, MD. The performance is a benefit for the disAbility Coalition of Talbot County and stars Bob Chancey as the nation’s 32nd president.
The play, written by Carlton E. Spitzer of Easton, and produced by Motivational Theatre, focuses on FDR’s personal challenges and family life as well as his political campaigns and four terms as president. FDR’s role as a model for persons with disabilities has been debated for more than 60 years. He lost the use of his legs to polio at age 39 and led the nation through the great depression of the 1930s and World War II from his wheelchair, but he prohibited photos of himself in a wheelchair, or being lifted from his special train car.
“Motivational Theatre and the disAbility Coalition have a common goal,” says Chauncey, “and that is to raise awareness of disability issues and discrimination in our society. We’re excited to work together.”
General admission to the September 27th show at 7:30pm is $15 and $10 for seniors and students. The performance will benefit the disAbility Coalition of Talbot County. Tickets are available by contacting the Avalon Theatre at 410-822-0345, or online at www.avalontheatre.com.
