IF JFK SURVIVED DALLAS:
PRESIDENTIAL REFLECTIONS AS ELDER STATESMAN A One-Act Play by: Dennis C. McAndrews, Esquire Performance Dates: October 2nd & 3rd 2026 @ 7:30pmJFK was the youngest man ever elected to that office, and he was the first person born in the 20th century to serve in that office. His eloquence, style, wealth, good looks, humor, and beautiful family ushered in a new era of American politics where, in Kennedy’s own words, “the torch has been passed to a new generation.” When he was shot and killed in Dallas in 1963, the psyche of his generation was also gravely wounded. But what if JFK was only wounded in Dallas and survived the assassin’s bullets? What would have become of the great issues of that era, such as Vietnam, civil rights, and the Cold War?
If JFK Survived Dallas: Presidential Reflections as Elder Statesman is a free offering. No reservations necessary. Donations are welcomed and appreciated!
