The Oconto Falls Friends of the Arts will present “The Lady with all the Answers” by the Nebraska Theatre Caravan at 6 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 19, in the Falls Area Performing Arts Center of Oconto Falls High School.
For decades, renowned newspaper advice columnist Ann Landers responded to countless questions from lovelorn teens, confused couples and a multitude of others. This one-woman show provides a compelling portrait of this folksy, funny, frank and slightly eccentric writer and personality.
Eppie Lederer was born in Sioux City, Iowa, and for several years was a happy Midwestern housewife. When her family moved to Chicago, she applied for a job to assist the woman writing the syndicated “Ann Landers” advice column for the Chicago Sun-Times. But the woman had just died, and Lederer was hired to write the column. She also inherited the Ann Landers pen name.
At the height of her popularity, Ann Landers was read by some 90 million people. Her daily dialog with America helped shape the social landscape for almost half a century.
Tickets are available by calling the Oconto Falls Friends of the Arts at 920-848-7469 or www.ocontofallsfriendsofthearts.com. Tickets are $35, which includes a $2 processing fee.
This performance is sponsored in part by ST Paper, Neva Hodge-Lemorande and the N.E. W. Credit Union.
