Will Rogers' USA
Will Rogers' USA is a one-man play about humorist Will Rogers that James Whitmore〔''in the 1970s he won critical acclaim for his one-man performances on Broadway portraying Harry Truman in Give 'Em Hell Harry, Theodore Roosevelt in Bully and the actor Will Rogers in Will Rogers USA.'' Staff (9 February 2009) "James Whitmore: Versatile US actor whose intensity led him to be twice nominated for Oscars" ''The Times'' page 53〕 appeared in for more than 30 years. It was first staged by Frankie Hewitt in a small theatre in Webster Groves, Missouri〔Dennis McClellan, ("James Whitmore dies at 87; veteran award-winning actor brought American icons to the screen" ), ''Los Angeles Times'', February 7, 2009.〕 and then at Ford's Theatre in 1970.〔Neil Macneil. "(Old Cowhand )". ''Time''. September 28, 1970. Retrieved on February 14, 2010.〕〔Staff (2003) ("Making a Difference: The National Humanities Medalists" ) ''Humanities: The Magazine of the National Endowment for the Humanities'' 2003(2): National Endowment for the Humanities〕 It was broadcast on television in 1972〔("Will Rogers' USA" ) at Internet Movie Database〕 and had a limited run on Broadway in May 1974. The Broadway production was produced by George Spota.〔("Will Rogers' USA" ) at Internet Broadway Database〕 The play was produced and conceived by George Spota, adapted and directed by Paul Shyre, with research by associate producer Bryan Sterling.〔Souvenir program, George Spota Productions〕 Whitmore changed his monologue each time he performed it, using actual quotations from Will Rogers to comment on current events at the time of the performance.〔
Gene McFall was reportedly the first person other than Whitmore to perform in the play, beginning in 1982 and continuing until 1989. He was stage manager and understudy to Whitmore while on tour in 1983 and 1984.〔Davis, Sandy (22 July 1994) "(Will Rogers' Witty Wisdom Stars in One-Man Show" ) ''News OK''〕 Another source says that actor Paul Tripp starred in a national tour of the play in 1974.〔Oliver, Myrna (2 September 2002) "(Paul Tripp, 91; Father of 'Tubby the Tuba'" ) ''Los Angeles Times''〕
Whitmore reprised the role numerous times through February 2000, when he performed it for the eighth and final run at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C.〔Staff (11 February 2009) "Actor refused to be typecast" ''The Courier Mail'' (Australia) page 94〕 His costume was later sent to the Smithsonian Institution.〔
The play was recently revived by (Kaleidoscope Theatre Company ).
