The first event of SMSU Theatre’s 57th season is a staged reading of FROST/NIXON by Peter Morgan, presented in partnership with the SMSU Center for Civic and Community Engagement, and in recognition of the 50th anniversary of the Watergate scandal. This one-night-only event will be Monday, September 9 at 7:30 pm, in the SMSU Fine Arts Theatre. Admission is pay-what-you-can and seating is first-come, first-served. Free parking is available behind the Fine Arts Building.

FROST/NIXON dramatizes the story behind the famous 1977 interviews between British talk show host David Frost and disgraced former President Richard Nixon. In their dynamic showdowns, Frost tries to enhance his career by getting Nixon to apologize for the scandals of his administration, while Nixon attempts to redeem himself in the eyes of the American public.

FROST/NIXON is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection.
