Playing @
Theatre Row - Theater One
410 West 42nd Street, New York City, NY 10036
Witness the unprecedented event. 

For the first time in history, an American president is on trial for crimes against the world. Will our 43rd president be found guilty of launching an illegal war that caused civilian deaths and spawned the growth of Al-Qaeda and ISIS and the use of brutal torture, or will he leave a free man? You decide. 

In the chilling new work, THE TRIAL OF AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT takes you inside the heated courtroom, where George W. Bush defends himself to a jury selected from the audience.

Each night, eight Audience members will be chosen as the jury and their collective verdict will be announced and reacted to by the cast. With the verdict changing nightly, the ending of the show changes as well
