Colleen, a resilient ex-con, immigrant and survivor of domestic violence, invites Eleanor Roosevelt, Jackie Kennedy, Lady Bird Johnson and Mary Todd Lincoln into her sewing shop! Mysteries and secrets are unveiled – hers and theirs – and with the help of these courageous women, Colleen wrestles insurmountable obstacles into extraordinary possibilities – in the most surprising situations!
In 90 minutes, through the eyes of Colleen, we encapsulate the history of our country and the invaluable impact of these four First Ladies as they spoke out, changing the course of events. They were forerunners – paving the way for our current wave of women in politics, the #MeToo Movement and social justice.
“Ginger Grace is luminous in this searing portrait of women – both the famous and the ordinary – confronting impossible challenges. The play, directed by the esteemed Austin Pendleton, is rich with darkness, wit, and surprise.”
– Janice Maffei, Literary Manager, the Schoolhouse Theater
