Red Hot Patriot – The Kick-Ass Wit of Molly Ivins presented by Mary Burns
September 24, 2016 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Red Hot Patriot The Kick-ass Wit of Molly Ivins as presented by Mary Burns will open for its two-week run at Willits Community Theatre on Friday, September 23. The one-person show celebrates the amazing wit and power of the famed Texas political satirist who for nearly four decades poked fun at American foibles. Written by twin sisters and journalists Margaret and Allison Engel, the show is a rendition of opinion columns penned by Ivins and performed on stage in the form of incoming AP News bulletins, along with multi-media photos, sound and music.
The show is directed by long-time WCT veteran, Mike ADair. Burns brings her considerable talents to portraying the Ivins wit after appearing on the WCT stage in numerous acting roles over the years. The show is sure to be a pertinent pleaser during the current election season. Performances are on Friday, September 23 at 8pm, Saturday, September 24 at 8pm, Sunday, September 25 at 2pm, Thursday, September 29 at 7pm, Friday, September 30 at 8pm, Saturday, and Saturday, October 1 at 8pm.
