TheatreFor Unleashes the Fiery Spirit of Molly Ivins in RED HOT PATRIOT June 12th–22nd 

Hold onto your First Amendment rights - Red Hot Patriot: The Kick Ass Wit of Molly Ivins is coming to Clearwater, and it's bringing the full force of one woman's wit, grit, and guts to the stage.

From June 12–22, TheatreFor sets its stage ablaze with the Texas-sized power and humor of firebrand journalist Molly Ivins - brought to life by the unstoppable Samantha Marti-Parisi in a tour-de-force performance. Performances run Thursdays–Saturdays at 7:30 PM and Sundays at 2 PM, and trust us - this is one you don't want to miss.
Written by Margaret and Allison Engel, Red Hot Patriot is part love letter to America, part political rally cry - a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud, and fiercely feminist portrait of a woman who took no prisoners, lampooned the powerful, and wrote like her pen was on fire.
Red Hot Patriot is a sharp-tongued, fast-paced theatrical celebration of legendary columnist Molly Ivins, whose fearless voice shook up American politics and made readers laugh out loud even as she took aim at hypocrisy, corruption, and injustice.
Witty, poignant, and unflinchingly relevant, the show takes audiences on a ride through Molly's rise from Texas newsrooms to national prominence - chronicling her battles with the good ol' boys club, her biting commentary on power and privilege, and her enduring belief in the power of journalism to make a difference.
With laugh-out-loud lines, gut-punch truth-telling, and a deep reverence for democracy, Red Hot Patriot is a timely reminder that humor and truth are not mutually exclusive - and that one brave voice can shake the system.

At a time when journalism, politics, and women's voices are under the microscope, Red Hot Patriot couldn't be more timely. Molly Ivins was the voice of the people - smart, sharp, Southern, and unafraid to speak truth to power. This production is both a celebration and a call to action.

Come for the laughs. Stay for the truth. Leave ready to raise a little hell
