Looking Over The President’s Shoulder at The Phoenix Theatre Company

Hoover. FDR. Truman. Eisenhower. And the man who served them well.

Behind every great leader, there is a story waiting to be told. Looking Over the President’s Shoulder is the remarkable true account of Alonzo Fields, who served as Chief Butler to four U.S. presidents, bearing witness to pivotal moments in American history. From the shadow of the Great Depression to the dawn of the Cold War, Fields navigated duty and sacrifice, trading his dreams of the opera stage for a front-row seat to history. This powerful solo performance is a tribute to resilience, service, and the unseen figures who help shape a nation.
