Donning a cowboy hat and his easygoing grin, Whitmore has been delighting audiences across the country and it all began at Ford’s Theatre. James Whitmore has become a standard of American theatre and a favorite of Washington audiences with his depiction of Will Rogers’ keen political satire and common sense philosophy. -kr
