Overview
Synopsis
In a story strikingly similar to twenty-first century headlines, Heather Smiley for President follows the female Democratic candidate, Heather Smiley. In the quagmire that is modern politics, Heather struggles to appeal to voters amid an ever-growing field of Republican and Democratic candidates. She's already resided on Pennsylvania Avenue as the nation's First Lady, and now she believes it's her turn to call the Oval Office her own. However she faces stiff opposition from the smooth operating Republic Senator, George Worthington. Can honesty and truth win a presidential election or is it all about the spin? This modern day musical takes a humorous look at contemporary American politics.
