Kathleen Turner in Red Hot Patriot: The Kick-Ass Wit of Molly Ivins
- Full Price:
- $67.00 - $87.00
- Our Price:
- $34.50 - $44.50
The Geffen Playhouse presents the story of Molly Ivins, the outspoken sharp-witted Texas reporter whose liberal journalism brought her national fame and a job at The New York Times, where she wrote Elvis Presley's obituary. Two-time Tony and Oscar nominee Kathleen Turner plays the fiery redhead, a self-proclaimed "pain in the ass to whatever powers come to be." Though The New York Times had hired Ivins to bring life to its staid writing style, her political edginess and controversial social commentary eventually proved to be too much, and Ivins moved on to Texas papers that embraced her sharp-tongued humor. This acclaimed show captures Ivins' unique character using personal anecdotes and her colorful take on national politics. Learn More

Description
Sandra Tsing Loh, the well-known novelist, commentator and performer, presents a one woman show about a 12 year-old girl who dreams of dancing the lead in The Nutcracker.
Instead, she ends up on the bottom row of a pyramid of rats, elbow to elbow with boys from Judo. It's a hilarious coming-of-age story about the fickle finger of fate and the humbling experience of dreams not realized.
Sandra Tsing Loh has performed in the solo Off-Broadway works Aliens in America and Bad Sex With Bud Kemp. She is an author of four books including A Year in Van Nuys and If You Lived Here You'd be Home by Now.
