Three former First Ladies will be sharing secrets in the unforgettably vivid one-woman show, TEA FOR THREE: Lady Bird, Pat & Betty, at North Coast Repertory Theatre. Written by Eric H. Weinberger and Elaine Bromka, and starring the Emmy Award-winning Ms. Bromka, the play is a witty and intimate re-imagining of three women who suddenly found themselves celebrities- a behind-the-scenes look at Lady Bird Johnson, Pat Nixon, and Betty Ford, revealing the personal cost of what Mrs. Nixon called the “hardest unpaid job in the world.” Weaving in the presidents, social change and politics of the time in a way that appeals to all audience members, Tea for Three has been critically acclaimed for its blend of humor and passion. The New York Times observed, “Good stories…subtle…even silences are filled with emotion.” Other reviewers agreed: “6 out of 5 stars!” (AustinOnStage.com, Austin, TX), “marvelous, poignant” (The Star-Ledger, Newark, N.J.), “fascinating…laced with insight and humor… brilliant acting” (The Record-Review, Katonah, NY), “Perfect. I felt honored, as a man, to be allowed to share this” (KDHX, St Louis, MO) The Daily Record, NJ pronounced, “Whether you are a Democrat or a Republican, a liberal or a conservative –and even if you do not like politics – Tea for Three is worth seeing.” For more information visit: northcoastrep.org
