The Lady with All the Answers
Tue, October 14, 7 – 9 p.m.
NEBRASKA THEATRE CARAVAN presents: THE LADY WITH ALL THE ANSWERS By David Rambo drawn from the life and letters of Ann Landers with the cooperation of Margo Howard. This one-woman show provides a compelling portrait of this folksy, funny, frank, and slightly eccentric writer and personality. Eppie Lederer was born in Sioux City, Iowa, and for several years was a happy Midwestern housewife. When her family moved to Chicago, she applied for a job to assist the woman writing the syndicated “Ann Landers” advice column for the Chicago Sun-Times. But the woman had just died and Eppie was hired to write the column … and she also inherited the Ann Landers pen-name. At the height of her popularity, Ann Landers was read by some 90 million people. Her daily dialog with America helped shape the social landscape for almost half a century. Website: answerladyontou
