The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at 抖M女仆 in Jupiter will present a one-man show by Clifton Truman Daniel, an author and the grandson of former U.S. President Harry S. Truman, on Friday, Jan.11, 2019 at 2 p.m. in the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute complex at 抖M女仆鈥檚 John D. MacArthur Campus, 5353 Parkside Dr., in Jupiter.

鈥淕ive 鈥楨m Hell, Harry!鈥 by Samuel Gallu is a play about President Truman鈥檚 life and presidency. It spans his childhood, his 鈥減olitical apprenticeship鈥 as a judge in Jackson County, Missouri, his years in the U.S. Senate and his two terms as president. The one-man show captures some of Truman鈥檚 momentous decisions, such the atomic bombings, the Korean War, the firing of U.S. Gen. Douglas MacArthur, and the recognition of Israel. Actor James Whitmore originated the role in 1975. Daniel took up the mantle in October 2017, marking the first time in history a U.S. president would be portrayed on-stage by a direct descendant.

Daniel is the honorary chairman of the board of the Truman Library Institute, the nonprofit partner of the Truman Presidential Library and Museum in Independence, Missouri, and board secretary for the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation. He is the author of 鈥淕rowing Up With My Grandfather: Memories of Harry S. Truman鈥 and 鈥淒ear Harry, Love Bess: Bess Truman鈥檚 Letters to Harry Truman, 1919鈥1943.鈥

Tickets are $30 for members and $40 for non-members. The performance is generously sponsored by YourLife鈩 Senior Living. 聽For more information, contact the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at 561-799-8547 or visit www.fau.edu/osherjupiter.
