Tuesday, November 24, 2009 through Sunday, December 20, 2009. Directed by J.R. Sullivan. For decades, Eppy Friedman, aka Ann Landers, answered countless letters in a newspaper column that made her a legend. In 1975, an ironic twist of events confronts her.

This funny and nostalgic play, based on real events, features Laura Gordon as the famous no-nonsense "advice giver" whose daily dialogue helped to shape the social landscapes of the last half century.
