His play "Eisenhower: This Piece of Ground" premiered Off-Broadway at the Theatre at St. Clements starring John Rubinstein in June, 2023, after a developmental production in October/November, 2022 at Theatre West in Los Angeles.[1] Hellesen's works have been performed by regional theater companies including South Coast Repertory in Orange County, California, the LA Rep (Los Angeles Repertory Company), the Denver Center Theatre Company, Ford's Theatre in Washington, DC,[2] City Theatre in Miami, Florida,[3] and Geva Theatre in Rochester, New York.
