David Arrow's Kennedy: Bobby's Last Crusade will get its World premiere this November, beginning a few days before the midterm elections. The solo play portrays Robert F. Kennedy during the 1968 presidential campaign. Told from Kennedy's perspective, the play follows his announcement of his intention to enter the race in March, to his last speech on June 4th at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. It contains many of his most famous and impactful speeches as well as the personal and less publicized moments of those last four months of the 1968 campaign for the presidency. 2018 marks the 50th anniversary of the events depicted in the play.

"The Kennedy's are a political dynasty and have had a lasting effect on America, and 50 years later the words of Bobby Kennedy need to be repeated so that we as Americans can remember that politics used to be about ideas and ideals, not about us versus them." Writer/performer David Arrow.

Production team includes Jim Morgan (Set Design), Miriam Crowe (Lighting Design) SenovvA/ProductionCore (Production Management), and LDK Productions (General Management).
