Main Street Theater to present 'Red Hot Patriot'
“Red Hot Patriot” is a funny, down-to-earth story of the unsinkable Molly Ivins, the famously brassy newspaper columnist and best-selling author.
~~~~~~~~
The Main Street Theater will stage a production of "Red Hot Patriot: The Kick-Ass Wit of Molly Ivins" from June 14 through July 1.
Performances will take place at Main Street Theater's Chelsea Market location, 4617 Montrose Blvd. in Houston. Show times include 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays, 8 p.m. Saturdays and 7 p.m. Sundays.
Ticket prices begin at $20 and vary depending on date and section.
Written by twin sisters Margaret Engel and Allison Engel, "Red Hot Patriot" looks at the life and work of the play's eponymous subject. A newspaper columnist, political commentator, author, humorist and Texas native, Ivins passed away in 2007.
"Molly Ivins was a bold, smart, determined woman who never forgot to laugh," said Main Street Theater Executive Artistic Director Rebecca Greene Udden in a press release announcing the production. "This play deftly captures her indomitable spirit and tells it like it is, just like she did."
Patti Bean will direct Sara Gaston as Molly Ivins. Gaston has appeared in works such as "The Rice," "Present Laughter," "The Best Man," "Ouroboros" and "Margin for Error." Mark B. Robbins will play the helper.
The design team includes Jeffrey S. Lane, set design; Eric L. Marsh, lighting design; Shawn W. St. John, sound design; Rebecca Greene Udden, costume design; and Dani Luers, properties design. Eva De La Cruz is stage manager.
A discussion with Bean, Gaston and Betsy Moon from the ACLU of Texas is scheduled to follow the June 24 performance.
