Performed by Fred Grandy, this one man show about former President of the United States Harry S. Truman is a faithful and humorous portrayal of his life and presidency. Fred Grandy is an American actor who played “Gopher” on the sitcom The Love Boat and who later became a member of the United States House of Representatives from the state of Iowa. Grandy was most recently the host of The Grandy Group, a morning drive time radio talk show on 630 WMAL in Washington, D.C. Grandy holds a master of fine arts (MFA) degree from the Washington Shakespeare Theatre and George Washington University. During his four terms in Congress, he served on a variety of committees, including Ways and Means, Agriculture, Standards of Official Conduct, and Education and the Workforce. While a member of Congress, Grandy won eight “Watchdog of the Treasury” awards. Give ’em Hell, Harry! is written by Samuel Gallu. Its April 17, 1975, premiere was hosted by Truman’s daughter Margaret, and attended by President Gerald Ford. “In these especially, dangerously partisan times, it’s good to see a former Republican congressman taking on the role of Truman with all the respect and dignity that it requires. Truman would often rail against the opposition but find ways to work with them for the good of the country. It’s a story worth telling and worth hearing.” — Hugh Gallagher Please Note: Dates, times, locations, performers, and prices are subject to change.
