The world premiere play by Jim Martin chronicles the life of Oliver Sipple, who saved President Ford from an assassination attempt in 1975, only to be outed publicly by the press. Sipple was shamed in the eyes of his family and never received the hero welcome he deserved from the President or the country. The production is presented by Act Two Productions, a group committed to storefront theatre and shows that lead to positive change in the community.
