Photo Flash: 'SHREK,' 'A PORTRAIT OF ROBERT KENNEDY', and 'THE KICK-A** WIT OF MOLLY IVINS' at Main Street Theatre this Summer
Now in its 40th Anniversary Season, Main Street Theater provides theater experiences for all ages. For ages 3 and up, Shrek the Musical continues on Saturdays and Sundays through July 31. The company also stages RFK: A Portrait of Robert Kennedy and Red Hot Patriot: The Kick-A** Wit of Molly Ivins through August 14. (The shows run in repertory, alternating days.)
"When we decided to mount these two shows about important individuals in American political life, we didn't know just how timely and timeless their stories would be," says Main Street Theater Executive Artistic Director Rebecca Greene Udden. "We chose to pair Molly's story with Bobby Kennedy's thinking that it would resonate with the current presidential election, little knowing that recent national events would put his thoughts about civil rights into such clear and powerful perspective."
But in the end, says Greene, "both these plays - and the individuals who inspired them - are great reminders of the impact of civic passion combined with eloquence and intelligence."
