Now Playing
The Lady with All the Answers
Opens June 6!
The New Vic Theatre proudly presents The Lady with All the Answers by David Rambo, starring veteran actor and New Vic audience favorite, Jennifer Furney. This one-woman play brings to life the wit, wisdom, and warmth of the beloved advice columnist, Ann Landers.
For decades, Ann Landers answered countless letters from the lovelorn, the confused, and the heartbroken. But on one late night in 1975, an ironic twist of fate finds Landers grappling with a deadline for a column about a new kind of problem—her own. As she crafts her response, audiences are drawn into a revealing portrait of the woman who shaped America’s social dialogue for half a century.
Critics have praised the play as:
-
“A warmhearted play…highly entertaining, frequently moving…” — Chicago Tribune
-
“Folksy, funny, straightforward and validating…engaging from beginning to end.” — Los Angeles Times
-
“David Rambo’s new one-woman play…provides a compelling portrait of her.” — Backstage West
-
“LADY is surprisingly crisp and loaded with detail…the first act is breezy, funny and gossipy…the second act is darker and more touching.” — North County Times
Jennifer Furney, daughter of New Vic founders Ted and Mary Jo Kistler, began her acting career at the age of seven and has been a dedicated member of the New Vic family ever since. Over the past 30 years, she has performed in over 100 productions, making her a beloved figure in the Kalamazoo arts community. Jennifer not only shines on stage but also dedicates herself to managing the day-to-day operations of the theatre as its Managing Director. Audiences know Jennifer for her engaging performances, her deep commitment to the theatre’s mission, and her rich connection to the New Vic’s legacy.
The Lady with All the Answers promises an intimate, heartfelt, and humorous evening, celebrating both the spirit of Ann Landers and the remarkable storytelling that the New Vic Theatre is known for.
