WHITE HOUSE PRINCESS
White House Princess is an original musical about Theodore Roosevelt’s rebellious daughter Alice and her beloved cousin Eleanor. One of America’s first celebrities, Alice was on every newspaper, bringing daggers to White House events, smoking on the roof of the oval office, and marrying playboy of politics, Nick Longworth. While Eleanor deals with the consequences of a secret affair with a woman (yes, it’s all based on history!), Alice's flashy husband sides with a political rival. Both cousins have to risk their social and political position to have what Victorian women fear most: happiness.
Maureen and Charlotte have done extensive research at the Theodore Roosevelt Collection at Houghton Library, met with Roosevelt historians, and interviewed Alice's granddaughter.
White House Princess had a 29 hour workshop in March 2026 in NYC, with a reading at Theodore Roosevelt’s birthplace museum in collaboration with the TR Presidential Library and the National Park Service. It is in development with the American Repertory Theater in Boston.
White House Princess will be performing at this year’s Theodore Roosevelt Convention (TeddyCon) at the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in Medora, North Dakota.
