The Center at West Park (CWP), the nonprofit arts and community hub on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, will present a one-night-only staged reading of All the President’s Men, William Goldman’s Academy Award™-winning screenplay, on Monday, August 25th at 7:00 p.m. at Guild Hall, located at 158 Main Street, East Hampton, NY 11937.
The 1976 film All the President’s Men follows Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein as they investigate the Watergate scandal that ultimately led to President Richard Nixon’s resignation.

Smith-Cameron, NYC Public Advocate Jumaane D. Williams, and Ramy Youssef. The performance, directed by John Benjamin Hickey, will be followed by a talkback with the cast. Additional stars will be announced in the coming weeks.
The performance is dedicated to the memory of director Mark Brokaw for his contributions to theatre and his efforts to grow The Center at West Park and save the landmark West Park Presbyterian Church.
