The First Ladies Coalition
Created & Performed by LPTW Member Ginger Grace
Directed by Austin Pendleton
Wildly extraordinary lives of the past connect with our own lives today — in the sewing shop of Colleen McCracken! An immigrant and ex-convict, a survivor of domestic violence, Colleen builds a Coalition with four First Ladies: Eleanor Roosevelt, Jackie Kennedy, Lady Bird Johnson and Mary Todd Lincoln. Mysteries and secrets are unveiled — hers & theirs — and with deep delight, mimicry and subtle impersonations, Colleen seamlessly transports us into the life and times of these iconic women. Driven by their inspiration and encouragement, she turns insurmountable obstacles into the extraordinary — new found freedom!
