America's 33rd President, Harry Truman, has received revived attention with the release of the movie "Oppenheimer," depicting the development of the atomic bomb used by Truman's administration to end the Second World War.  Give 'em Hell, Harry! is a biographical play written by Samuel Gallu that teaches much about that period in U.S. and World History.

The story depicts this honest man unexpectedly thrust into the U.S. Presidency after the death of Franklin Roosevelt. Ridiculed by both the press and the public as "the little man from Missouri," Truman would emerge as one of the great leaders of the 20th Century. 

NOTE: The show will run 90 minutes with NO intermission. At the conclusion of the production, Fred Grandy will be joined onstage by director and fellow "The Love Boat" actor Ted Lange for a Question and Answer session with the audience.
