Created by Marcus Woollen and produced by West 50th Street Productions, Dear George: Letters to the President is a 90 minute compilation of excerpts from more than 1500 open letters written to President Bush between Memorial Day and Labor Day. The non-partisan piece covers issues ranging from Iraq and 9/11 to the economy and gay marriage. Letters were submitted through the website www.DearGeorgeLetters.com and came from all 50 states, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Americans overseas.

Project creator Marcus Woollen notes, "What was fascinating in turning these letters into a theatrical piece is that the letters, as written, are far more substantive and issue-driven than anything seen so far in this year's campaign – at the same time, there's a lot of humor from both sides of the political aisle."

Marcus Woollen is also excited about the number of theatres that are producing the work this month, "It's been amazing to me that these theatres, all across the country, have all joined in this effort, putting aside or working around their existing schedules, to do something that they feel is incredibly important as this election nears."
