THE FIRST LADIES COALITION, Created & Performed by Ginger Grace, Directed by Austin Pendleton. Wildly extraordinary lives of the past become part of our own lives today—in the sewing shop of Colleen McCracken! An immigrant and ex-convict, 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 finds the power to turn insurmountable obstacles into the extraordinary – discovering new found freedom!
