The Little Flower

An educational, inspirational, comedic one-man show, set in the 1945 City Hall office of Fiorello H. La Guardia during his final day as three-term mayor of New York City.

Mayor LaGuardia was a man of integrity with outstanding principles, morals, and values, whose voice resonated across America. He was a courageous, flamboyant champion of the poor and underprivileged, and father figure to millions of Americans in the 1930s -1940s. He set a new standard for politicians, fought against corruption, cleaned up city politics, and stood up for his beliefs regardless of obstacles, challenges or political agenda.

The show flashes between “present-day” 1945 and back to significant moments in LaGuardia’s life, both triumphant and tragic. His challenges parallel the political challenges of today. He transcended political party barriers over social and economic issues, holding strong to his plan of action that served him well then, and could serve the American people today.
