With the growing interest in the possibility of a new presidential pet, the White House Historical Association invites you to learn about pets that have lived in the President’s House.

ONLINE EXHIBIT: Pampered household pets or working livestock . . . selected or stray . . . animals have long been a major part of life at the White House. Some pets simply provided companionship to the president and his family. Others gained fame for a role in shaping the president's public image. No matter what job was bestowed upon them, White House pets usually did it well. PLEASE VISIT: WHITE HOUSE PETS

Unleashed! The Secret Lives of White House Pets

A WORLD PREMIERE KENNEDY CENTER CO-COMMISSION AND CO-PRODUCTION WITH THE WHITE HOUSE HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION


Young Alastair's father has just been elected President, so she and her jittery Chihuahua Tipp are moving into the White House. When their new celebrity status begins to overwhelm them, wise old usher Max takes them on a hilarious journey back in time to meet other first kids and their pets! Pretty soon, they're rubbing elbows with a couple of Texas hounds, a grandmotherly spaniel, and more White House mutts. But some unexpected personalities pop up too, including a voracious Cajun alligator, some country-bumpkin goats, a stuffy mocking bird, a well-mannered bovine, and even a garter snake! Gathering advice from them all, Alastair learns the power of friendship, courage, and responsibility in this third installment of the popular co-commissions. Ages 7 and up. January 30 – February 22, 2009 in the Kennedy Center Family Theater. Click here for tickets and more information.
