Dallas' Echo Theatre is raising quite the ruckus with a special performance dedicated to the sharp wit and irreverent wisdom of the late, great Texas political commentator, Molly Ivins. Billed as a must-see for fans of satirical voices like John Stewart, "Rising Hell With Molly Ivins" sets the stage ablaze with its no-holds-barred homage to Ivins' fiery commentary.
The limited run, spanning from September 26 through September 29, means anyone angling for a piece of this uniquely Texas-flavored action ought to wrangle their tickets now, with seats priced from $10 to $30, according to the City of Dallas. Don't miss the chance to witness Marty Van Kleeck embody Ivins, delivering zingers such as, "I have been attacked by Rush Limbaugh on the air, an experience somewhat akin to being gummed by a newt. It doesn't actually hurt, but it leaves you with slimy stuff on your ankle," a slice of Ivins' iconic humor that promises to have audiences in stitches.
For those ready to embrace the full experience, Echo Theatre suggests a dress code that leans heavily into Texas culture; sport your boots, tease your hair, grab your posse, and meet at the venue ready to kick back, and no doubt, echo Ivins' observation that "The first rule of holes: When you're in one stop digging." This catchphrase encapsulates Ivins' no-nonsense approach to political folly and personal foible alike, a trait that earned her a beloved place in the heart of satire and commentary enthusiasts, as per the City of Dallas.
