🔥 Red Hot Patriot: The Kick-Ass Wit of Molly Ivins
By Margaret Engel & Allison Engel
June 12–22 at TheatreFor
The pen is mightier — and Molly Ivins proves it with fire, wit, and Texas grit.
Red Hot Patriot is a sharp-tongued, fast-paced theatrical celebration of legendary columnist Molly Ivins, whose fearless voice shook up American politics and made readers laugh out loud even as she took aim at hypocrisy, corruption, and injustice.
Witty, poignant, and unflinchingly relevant, the show takes audiences on a ride through Molly’s rise from Texas newsrooms to national prominence — chronicling her battles with the good ol’ boys club, her biting commentary on power and privilege, and her enduring belief in the power of journalism to make a difference.
With laugh-out-loud lines, gut-punch truth-telling, and a deep reverence for democracy, Red Hot Patriot is a timely reminder that humor and truth are not mutually exclusive — and that one brave voice can shake the system.
Come for the laughs. Stay for the truth. Leave ready to raise a little hell🔥

She didn’t mince words. She lit fires.
Molly Ivins knew that free speech isn’t granted — it’s protected. And she used hers like a blowtorch.
