Art
Art provokes a conversation. Historic American Pop and No War invite people to explore history, freedom, expression and the experiences we share.
The Vision
America, it’s time to talk together again!
Our mission is to bring people together to celebrate our common ground, freedom and democracy.
In a divided society, we need opportunities to gather, listen to one another, and remember what we share.
America Together is a proposed four-day celebration of freedom and democracy, where people can connect through art, music, great food, and civil conversation. The Dallas launch is targeted for April or May 2027, with exact dates to be confirmed. Plans call for presentations in 13 additional cities across the country, subject to local partnerships and funding.
America Together is fully bipartisan. We take no political side. We invite people from different experiences and perspectives to celebrate the freedom and democracy we share.
Four days in Dallas
Many ways to come together.
Music
An ambitious live music evening built around exceptional performers and the energy of a shared audience. Artists, venue and dates will follow confirmed agreements.
The American Table
Regional cuisines provided by local chefs, combined with personal stories, bring people together around one shared occasion. Sixty tables of ten make room for 600 guests, with a sense of connection at every table.
Let’s Talk America
A major reception opens the premiere evening, welcoming guests to gather and share conversation before the main program. The Kitchen Table Conversations and Presidential Conversations invite people to listen across differences. The proposed Presidential Conversations would bring former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, and filmmaker Ken Burns into a shared discussion. All participants remain subject to invitation and confirmation.

Your partnership helps bring America Together to Dallas.
The plan is to fund the production and delivery of America Together through corporate sponsorships, major donors and contributed support. This underwriting will position ticket sales to generate funds for our nonprofit mission.
After event expenses, outstanding obligations and bridge repayment are settled, a continuation reserve will support future presentations. The remaining funds will be available for charitable distribution. Laura and Brad want America Together to support charitable organizations seeking funding for work that advances freedom and democracy.
