    WORLD PREMIERE! The LA Theatre Works/RFK Project is a commission led by the University of Notre Dame's DeBartolo Performing Arts Center and co-commissioned by the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center at the University of Maryland, Stanford Lively Arts at Stanford University, and the Modlin Center for the Arts at the University of Richmond. The 60's in America was a decade of heroes, violence, love, death, progress, and disappointment. What began in 1960 as a decade of hope with the election of John F. Kennedy, ended with America embroiled in an impossible war, her streets filled with riots, and the history changing loss of three important figures. It is a decade often studied, debated, celebrated, and mourned - even a half-century later. And now, as those who lived, governed, and shepherded change during the 60's are passing, L.A. Theater Works presents a major new docudrama focused on Robert Kennedy's personal and political journey. In June 1968, the assassination of senator and presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy stunned the world. Kennedy's death, coming so shortly after the assassination of his colleague Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and only five years after the death of Kennedy's older brother John, left the nation -- regardless of political convictions -- uncertain of the future during the most tumultuous time in American history since the Civil War. The "RFK Project" chronicles his transformation from discomfort with and indifference towards the Civil Rights Movement to a champion and crusader. His story provides a compelling and dramatic illumination of this crucial decade, enabling a new generation to hear the words, feel the tension, and explore the issues that still resonate today.
