NOW PLAYING IN THE
HOWARD DREW THEATRE:
August 20 - September 19, 2010
Thursday-Saturday at 7:30pm; Sun at 2pm
By David Rambo
Drawn from the life and letters of Ann Landers
with the cooperation of Margo Howard
Sponsored by: Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska and Interstate Printing Company.
For decades, renowned newspaper advice columnist Ann Landers responded to countless questions from lovelorn teens, confused couples, and a multitude of others in need of advice on matters small and momentous – like the proper way to hang toilet paper rolls. This one-woman show provides a compelling portrait of this folksy, funny, frank, and slightly eccentric writer and personality. Eppie Lederer was born in Sioux City, Iowa, and for several years was a happy Midwestern housewife. When her family moved to Chicago, she applied for a job to assist the woman writing the syndicated “Ann Landers” advice column for the Chicago Sun-Times. But the woman had just died and Eppie was hired to write the column … and she also inherited the Ann Landers pen-name. At the height of her popularity, Ann Landers was read by some 90 million people. Her daily dialog with America helped shape the social landscape for almost half a century.
Kathy Wheeldon plays Ann Landers. Susan Baer Collins directs and Stage Manager is Suzanne Withem. Connie Lee is World-Herald Liaison.
