TEA FOR THREE: LADY BIRD, PAT AND BETTY
Wednesday, July 24th – Town Hall Theatre – 8:00pm – $35

Riding high after its rave review from the New York Times, TEA FOR THREE will be at CTC for a special one-night only engagement!

Do you remember this hit from our 2004 season? TEA FOR THREE stars Elaine Bromka in this widely praised portrayal of three First Ladies – Lady Bird Johnson, Pat Nixon, and Betty Ford. Jeffrey Borak of The Berkshire Eagle reviewing the CTC production in 2004 wrote “Elaine Bromka’s portrait of Pat Nixon is expertly crafted, wrenching, sad, and haunting.” The Republican greeted the CTC transfer to City Stage in Springfield with: “This play is polished, effective, precise, amusing and touching.

To learn more about TEA FOR THREE, check out the Mid-Season Special Events News Post. TEA FOR THREE’s June 2013 New York City engagement marked CTC’s third transfer Off Broadway in five years, and fifth transfer in six years!
