When it comes to television, the 37th President of the United States is best remembered for an unfortunate debate against John F. Kennedy and later for those infamous words, “I am not a crook.”  But it was a younger, more idealistic Richard Milhous Nixon who used television to warm American hearts and save his political skin by telling the story of a little cocker spaniel namEd Checkers and bringing new respectability to the words “Republican cloth coat.”

The Vineyard Theatre (108 E. 15 St.) presents the world-premiere production of Douglas McGrath's play Checkers. CHECKERS, a new play by Douglas McGrath about Richard and Pat Nixon and his landmark "Checkers" speech in 1952, is the first play of the 30th anniversary season at The Vineyard Theatre.
