Bill Maher and Ann Coulter Go Head-to-Head in HUMOROUS PERSPECTIVES March 10 at Wang Theatre

MSG Entertainment and Citi Performing Arts Center kick off their 2009 "Speaker Series: The Minds That Move The World," with comedic political commentator Bill Maher and political host and commentator Ann Coulter going head-to-head at Citi Performing Arts Center Wang Theatre on Monday, March 10 at 8 PM.

The "Speaker Series" is a timely and important series of events that will provide attendees with a unique framework for understanding America's current political landscape and place in world politics, through the insights of some of the most prominent political figures of our time. Due to the overwhelming success of last year's inaugural "Speaker Series" that premiered at Radio City Music Hall in New York, this unique political forum is expanding in 2009 to Boston where Citi Performing Arts Center Wang Theatre will host four engaging events over a three month period.
In light of the new political environment that faces our nation, the "Speaker Series: The Minds That Move The World" will undoubtedly generate heated discussion as the best political minds of our day, including former Vice President Al Gore and former Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove, examine the most talked about topics surrounding current events.

The series is formatted to allow for each participant to present their thoughts on a wide range of important current events and national issues, followed by a moderated question and answer period during which the moderator can elicit additional information and insights into particularly pertinent topics of the day.
