Lady Bird, Pat & Betty: Tea for Three

Lady Bird, Pat & Betty: Tea for Three reveals a gallery of intimate portraits of three remarkable, but very different First Ladies. We discover each at a threshold moment in her life, and learn the personal cost of what Pat Nixon called “the hardest unpaid job in the world.” This one-woman show is both funny and deeply moving, a thought-provoking exploration of these fascinating women and what they faced in this most unusual job. Emmy Award–winning actress Elaine Bromka, with 30 years in film, television, Broadway and Off-Broadway, starred opposite Rich Little in the P.B.S. show “The Presidents," impersonating the last eight First Ladies. Intrigued by their stories, she went on to collaborate with playwright Eric H. Weinberger, focusing on Lady Bird Johnson, Pat Nixon, and Betty Ford. And the result? Eighty-five minutes of heartwarming delight! Sponsored by the Friends of the Cranford Public Library!
