Molly Ivins, who died in 2007 at the age of 62, was noted for her satirical columns, especially about Texas politics. Ivins will be played by actress Barbara Chisholm, who starred in the show's run in Austin, Texas. Before the performance, playwrights Allison and Margaret Engel will discuss writing the play and the First Amendment. The sisters have strong Iowa ties. Their father, Jack Engel, was on the journalism faculty at Iowa State, and both spent part of their careers at the Des Moines Register.
