Actress Holland Taylor as Ann Richards, Coming to the Kennedy Center in 'ANN'

 

Everything is bigger in Texas.

For the late Texas Governor Ann Richards, that maxim held true not only for her huge character and heart, but also her wit and hairdo. Now, Emmy Award–winning stage and screen actress Holland Taylor (Two and a Half Men) brings audiences ANN, a hilarious, inspiring, and no-holds-barred look at the unforgettable Governor of the Lone Star State. Taylor wrote the play as a way to take the audience on a journey, swirling together the past and present to reunite Ann Richards with old friends and introduce her to a new generation.

A veteran of the stage, Hollywood, and television whom Broadway critic John Simon calls "one of the very few utterly graceful, attractive, elegant, and technically accomplished actresses in our theater," Holland Taylor brings the audience face to face with a complex, colorful, and captivating character. According to the Dallas Morning News, when Richards's daughter Cecile learned the actress would portray her mother in a new play, she offered an instant judgment: "Perfect."

The San Antonio Express raved, "It was as if Ann, with her silver helmet of hair, gleaming white suit, and strong swagger, were suddenly raised from the dead." More than that, Taylor channels Ann's razor-sharp wit to tell this heartfelt story of a personal hero, a leader who actually believed she could empower, expand, and enrich the lives of her constituents.
