It\u2019s a basic right given in the Constitution. A right to run for any office of the U. S. of A., even the Presidency, is handed to any U.S. born citizen of a certain or older. Connor Cooper, a resident since birth of New Hampshire, is going to do just that. He\u2019s taking on the Presidency. Are we all a little naive? A little crazy? Why would any person want to take on the running of this country? This play may be set in the recent past, but it is more timely than ever with each new election year that passes. Can any candidate withstand the vetting of the press or political parties? Does it matter? It is only evident that they hold higher standards than they themselves are capable of reaching. Follow one man\u2019s dream of serving the country and the people he loves in <i>DO GOOD<\/i>. It also becomes a comment on the political process, the voters and the press, who will accept anything except the thing that reminds them of themselves.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>PLAY DETAILS<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>4F 2M<\/li>\n<li>Simple settings can be suggested or elaborate<\/li>\n<li>Contemporary costumes<\/li>\n<li>About 2 hours<\/li>\n<li>PART OF THE PREMIERE PLAY FILE<\/li>\n<li><b>ORDER #3285<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #800080;\">AVAILABLE<\/span><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>PERUSAL MATERIALS:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>A copy of the <strong>PERUSAL SCRIPT<\/strong> (in PDF format) which contains the first act of the script of the play is available:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/leicesterbaytheatricals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Do-Good-PERUSAL.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18790\" src=\"https:\/\/leicesterbaytheatricals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Perusal-Script-300x94.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"211\" height=\"66\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>PRODUCTION\/REHEARSAL MATERIALS:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>(Any PDF purchased will be emailed to your email address &#8212; if you need to provide that to us (not the one on your PayPal account?), <a href=\"mailto:\/\/cmichaelperry53@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>email us.<\/strong><\/a> CDs will be mailed to a snail mail address.
