RELEASE:
Concord, CA. April 21, 2008 –
As the third offering
of their 2008 main stage season, the Willows Theatre Company presents Dore
Schary’s Tony award-winning drama Sunrise at Campobello,
May 5-June 1 at the Willows Theatre, 1975 Diamond Blvd. in the Willows
Shopping Center in Concord. Sunrise tells the story of the beginnings
of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s political career and his struggle
with a sudden illness that turned the vital, energetic young father into a
victim of total and permanent paralysis from the waist down. This early view
of Roosevelt’s life also highlights the tensions between the two strong
women closest to him, his wife Eleanor and his mother Sara, who clashed
continuously for his affections and loyalty. A compelling story for all
ages, Sunrise is directed by Willows Theatre Producing Artistic
Director Richard Elliott.
