The entity known as Five Presidents is associated with a theatrical piece conceived by playwright Rick Cleveland. The world premiere premiered in 2015 at Milwaukee Repertory Theater, establishing a strong regional footprint for the work. The show re-emerged in subsequent stagings at Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor (2015) and at Stage 773 in Chicago (American Blues Theater, 2019). Across these productions, audiences experience a dramatized encounter among five U.S. presidents on a pivotal day in Nixon’s funeral sequence, blending historical reflection with contemporary stagecraft. While not a traditional music artist or band with a recorded discography, the performer roster and creative teams behind Five Presidents bring together stagecraft, acting, direction, and design to deliver a memorable live theater experience. Regional productions continued into 2019 with additional venues and community engagement, underscoring the show’s resonance with diverse audiences.
For fans and theater-goers, Five Presidents represents an example of how storytelling through performance can illuminate historical moments with nuance, humor, and gravitas.
