Kick-Ass Wit!


Check out the NYT theater review of our own (Images and Voices of Hope "thought leader") Peggy Engel's first play: "Red Hot Patriot: the Kick-Ass Wit of Molly Ivins." It's a serendipitous story how Peggy and her twin sister Allison brought their one-woman show starring Kathleen Turner to the stage. I got a sneak peek last June, a mere reading, where I swear Kathleen Turner channeled Molly. Many of you will remember Peggy's inspired reading at last year's summit. The show opens at the Philadelphia Theatre Company on Wednesday. It's full of laughter, melancholy, and insights about Molly's brand of courageous journalism.
 
You can also listen to NPR's Weekend Edition for Scott Simon's interview of Kathleen Turner yesterday.
 
Congratulations to Peggy and Allison!
