The Union Street Players will be presenting their next production, Frost/Nixon, for two weekends in April.

The play is based on a series of interviews between television talk-show host David Frost and former president Richard Nixon in 1977, after Nixon resigned following Vietnam and the Watergate Scandal. Cast member Lonnie Appleby, who was a toddler when the interviews occurred, says that this show has given him a new perspective on the events he was unable to comprehend in his youth.

“I love this role, because I just turned 55 so I was three when all of this happened, and I remember seeing it on the television but at three years old all you know is things are wrong. And you hear your mom calling the President this and that and he’s a liar, and so now all these years later, I can actually see what I was watching at three years old and not comprehending.”

The Union Street Players’ performances of Frost/Nixon will be on Friday and Saturday, April 5th and 6th at 7pm, Friday and Saturday, April 12th and 13th at 7pm, and Sunday, April 14th at 2 pm. Tickets for Frost/Nixon can be purchased here. Hear more about the production on an upcoming Let’s Talk Pella.
