Based on Dore Schary’s Broadway hit , Sunrise at Campobello, this one-man show takes us through FDR’s White House year from the Depression to the war. Seven-time Emmy Award recipient, Ed Asner, shows us why Roosevelt was known as “that man in the White House,” scorned by many and admired by most. We witness his fireside chats; controversial packing of the Supreme Court; personal life; breaking of the Neutrality Act; manipulation of Congress; the Pearl Harbor controversy and the benevolent dictatorship he called the presidency, which made him the only president to be elected to four terms.
