Julie Briskman to Play Ann Landers in ACT’s The Lady with All the Answers

Julie Briskman will star as Ann Landers in David Rambo’s solo play, The Lady with All the Answers, to be presented by ACT Theatre, September 10-October 31. Valerie Curtis-Newton will direct.

The show takes place in 1975, 20 years after Eppie Lederer took over the Ann Landers advice column that changed the social landscape of the last half-century and made her “America’s Therapist.” While struggling to write the most difficult column of her life, Ann Landers breaks down the fourth wall and shares some of her favorite letters and memories with the audience — representatives for her 60 million readers.

The design team will include Martin Christoffel (scenic designer), Melanie Taylor Burgess (costume designer), Robert Aguilar (lighting designer), and Brendan Patrick Hogan (sound designer).
