for the WORLD PREMIERE of

THE SECOND MRS. WILSON

By Joe DiPietro, Tony Award Winning Playwright of Memphis

1919.  In the aftermath of World War I, First Lady Edith Wilson believes her new husband, President Woodrow Wilson, was put on earth by God to prevent future cataclysms and build a League of Nations, assuring peace across the globe. When her husband’s health is threatened, Edith takes unprecedented steps, including keeping the Vice President and the Congress at bay, to assure that their dream will come to pass.  Asserting her own will in the old boys’ club of Washington D.C., the First Lady protects her husband while claiming a slice of power for herself.  The Second Mrs. Wilson chronicles a unique incident in United States history with intrigue and excitement.
