About the Play:

Ann by Holland Taylor

Iconic, heroic, and hilarious. Texas Governor Ann Richards had a heart as big as the state from which she hailed, a wit to rival the greats, and an enduring passion for fair play. Neither partisan nor political, Ann is pure entertainment - an uplifting tribute to this courageous leader, dedicated mother, loving grandmother, and legendary personality. This richly imagined play reveals a complex, colorful, and captivating character whose capacity to inspire us all burns even brighter today.

Friday and Saturday performances are at 7:00 PM. Sundays at 2:00 PM.
