The First Ladies Coalition- A Live Theatrical Performance with Ginger Grace

LITCHFIELD, Conn. - April 11, 2016 - PRLog -- In The First Ladies Coalition, Colleen McCracken invites the audience into her tiny New York City apartment, which also serves as her sewing shop. A struggling immigrant and ex-convict, Colleen builds a unique and humorous relationship with a Coalition of four of our First Ladies: Eleanor Roosevelt, Jackie Kennedy, Lady Bird Johnson and Mary Todd Lincoln. As Colleen's mysteries and secrets are unveiled, she disarmingly relates stories of daunting challenges faced by the First Ladies. With deep delight in mimicry and subtle impersonations, Colleen seamlessly transports us into the life and times of these iconic women. Driven by their inspiration and encouragement she begins to turn her troubled past into a bright future in today's New York City.

Ginger Grace has recently performed The First Ladies Coalition at the Abingdon Theatre in New York as well as the David M. Player Center for the Arts in Arizona. She toured nationally opposite Rich Little in The Presidents playing all of his First Ladies from Jackie Kennedy to Hillary Clinton. She has played Emily Dickinson in The Belle of Amherst by William Luce throughout the country since 2002, and recently created her own interactive performance piece: Inside Emily Dickinson: Her Poetry & Her Life.  Ms. Grace has worked extensively in New York and Regional Theater and in independent films.  You may have seen her recently opposite Dr. Oz for The Dr. Oz Show's "Bringing Healthy Back" Campaign!
