Obliged to gather together on the day of Richard Nixon's funeral, four "exes" and one "current" vent frustrations, revisit old grievances, and reveal the toll that it takes on any person foolish enough to seek the highest office in the land.

The creative team for Five Presidents includes: Artistic Director/Director, Mark Clements; Scenic Design, Todd Edward Ivins±; Costume Design, Mary Folino; Lighting Design, Jesse Klug; Sound Design, Brian Jerome Peterson; Makeup Design; Lauren Wilde; Dialect Coach, Jill Walmsley Zager, Assistant Director, Hannah Greene; Stage Manager, Richelle Harrington Calin; Assistant Stage Manager, Rebecca Lindsey; and Stage Management Apprentice, Kimberly Carolus. ± Rep Associate Artist
