Max and Louie Productions 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 production stars Stellie Siteman as Ann Landers and is directed by Sydnie Grosberg Ronga. The play closes May 22nd at the COCA Black Box Theater.

Before Dr. Phil, before Oprah, before Dan Savage, there was Ann Landers. In this engaging, witty one-woman play praised from New York to L.A.. we are delighted as Ms. Landers (aka Eppie Lederer) revisits some of her favorite columns, dispenses advice, and shares tidbits of her own life choices and heartaches. Set during an evening in Chicago in 1975 as Ann Landers writes one of the most personal, difficult and life-changing columns of her career, the play reveals an Ann Landers who in many ways was a modern woman, independent and "ahead of her time", expressing staunch opposition to the Vietnam war, campaigning to win government support for cancer research and preaching tolerance and acceptance towards homosexuality, premarital sex, abortion rights and feminism.

The production brings together the team that brought you last summer's hit It Had to Be You; with sets by Kevin Kline nominee Christopher M. Waller, lights by Kevin Kline winner Glenn Dunn, and sound by Rusty Wandall, starring Stellie Siteman and directed by Sydnie Grosberg Ronga.

Praise for Max & Louie's first production:

"Siteman reminds us anew of what a consummate character actress she is. Her instincts are true. I don't think I've ever heard her deliver a false line reading." Dennis Brown, Riverfront Times.

"One of the top stage achievements this summer has to be the production of the two-act play, "It Had to be You," " Jerry Berger

Don't miss the St. Louis premiere of The Lady With All the Answers - a funny, warm-hearted one woman show.
