On Stage: Theatre
Will Rogers’ U.S.A.
East Lynne Theater Company, 500 Hughes Street, Cape May
In 1970, Will Rogers’ U.S.A.
was conceived and produced
by George Spota, with James
Whitmore playing Rogers. It was
adapted and originally directed
by Paul Shyre. The script is not
published and took ELTC’s artis-
tic director Gayle Stahlhuth, sev-
eral months to track it down.
