Written by Tony Award Winning playwright Rupert Holmes
Starring Michelle Azar as Ruth Bader Ginsburg and directed by Laley Lippard
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg -- “RBG” -- welcomes a friend of the family to her cozy chambers to convey, over the course of 90 fascinating and often funny minutes, a sense of her life and its many trials: losing her mother the day before she graduated as valedictorian of her Brooklyn high school, being one of only nine young women studying law at Harvard while also raising a daughter and helping her husband battle cancer, fighting for women's rights in the 1970s before condescending all-male courts, and taking courageous stands for human rights as a voice of reason amid a splintering and increasingly politicized Supreme Court.
An evening with a great and compassionate icon of straight-thinking American justice emerges, an RBG who is not only “notorious” but victorious as she takes a stand for ordinary people facing the many challenges of a changing world. Bring your scrunchies, hankies, humor and heart to this entertaining and uplifting event!
