Presidents Dramatically Speaking - Herbert and Lou Hoover at Belle Glade Library
“Presidents and Their First Ladies, Dramatically Speaking” is the creation of the veteran acting and writing team of husband and wife, William and Sue Wills. After 20 years of operating their own theatrical company in the resort of Ocean City, Maryland, the couple is now in their 26th year of bringing to life the stories of 35 different Presidential couples. Amazingly, the Wills’ have appeared together on stage over 9,100 times … and still counting. They are not “impersonators,” but hope that their costumes, dialects, and demeanors will help recreate these historical characters.
