Red Hot Patriot: The Kick-Ass Wit of Molly Ivins

Tuesday, February 7, 2012 6:30 pm — 9:30 pm

Geffen Playhouse
10886 Le Conte Avenue
Los Angeles, California 90024.


Dinner from 6:30 to 8:00 pm. Curtain at 8:00 pm. Featuring a catered pre-theater dinner and special talk back with Kathleen Turner, playwright Allison Engel, journalist Robert Sheer, and ACLU/SC Executive Director Hector Villagra.


“Two-time Tony and Oscar nominee Kathleen Turner sizzles as Molly Ivins, the brassy Texan reporter whose liberal journalism skyrocketed her to the national stage. From writing Elvis Presley’s New York Times obituary to becoming the most widely-read self-proclaimed “pain in the ass to whatever powers come to be,” Ivins, often described as a modern-day Mark Twain, made rabid fans and enemies alike with her sharp-tongued humor and unabashed political criticism. This acclaimed show captures the redheaded reporter’s indomitable character by weaving personal anecdotes with her colorful take on national politics.”



Tickets cost $100 each, including dinner and performance. To reserve your seat, call Vicki Fox at (213)977-5227 or email vfox@aclu-sc.org.
