JFK: Light the World for Readers and Music Fans.
This Keepsake coffee table book consists of a new original playscript with eighty one photos (81) of JFK, his tragic assassination, and events from that time, plus twelve (12) original folk, traditional, and patriotic songs. The play has a ceremonial form and includes quotations from his speeches and commentary about how his assassination impacted individual Americans, our history, culture, and politics. John F. Kennedy: Light the World is an answer to the hate, vitriol, and acerbic division that is slowly destroying our country. As he said, “Let us not emphasize all on which we differ but all we have in common. Let us not consider what we fear separately but what we share together.”
JFK: Light the World for Theater Directors
A play belongs on stage, not in a book. Help me bring John F. Kennedy: Light the World to the stage. Plan your production now for next spring as part of the 250th anniversary year of the United States. I'm planning to put together a large group of simultaneous performances around the U.S. for the weekend following President's Day February 18-20 2027. The mid term elections will be over and the holidays will be behind us. Maybe there will be a little winter lull in all the hatred that we can fill with our simultaneous Civility and Unity Presidents' Day productions of JFK: Light the World.
As a retired college academic who directed numerous plays over the years – everything from “The Female Odd Couple” to “Antigone” -- I'm not suggesting this just to sell you production rights to my play. I truly believe that our country is in peril because of the hatred, division, and vitriol in our political culture. It's my naive belief that this play and the passion that theater groups around the country can bring to it, will make a difference. Also, my energy is limited -- I'm 86 years old. This is my last hurrah. I urge you to
- Read about the play on this website
- Examine the Summary-purpose, Outline, and Sample Excerpts pages on the drop down menu
- Click on a button below to buy a hardcover or paperback copy and an album
- Then, if after your review, you're in for February's massive Americans for Unity Presidents' Day Performance of JFK: Light the World, purchase the performance rights and leave me a note in the comments below so I can add yours and your group's name to my Master List.
- And finally put JFK: Light the World on your schedule for Presidents' Day February 2027.
Maybe we can really Light the World.
