The Fireside Chats with FDR
June 28, 29, 30 and July 4
On March 12, 1933, Franklin Roosevelt took to the airwaves at the height of the banking crisis to talk to the American people. His goal was to urge the populace to have faith in the banking system and support his New Deal measures. This was the first in a series of 30 "Fireside Chats."
The "Fireside Chats" covered topics such as the Declaration of War with Japan, the US economic conditions, the Work Relief Program and the progress of the war. He used a simple and direct conversational style that connected strongly with the American people. He continued the "chats" until June 12, 1944.
James Mitchell Gooden has constructed a show based on these "Fireside Chats." Interwoven with personal anecdotes, he reveals the wit and wisdom of our 32nd president. The result is a show filled with history, nostalgia, humor and patriotism, perfect fair for the 4th of July weekend.
