Please join us for a concert reading of the documentary play "SHE DID ALL THAT - Betty Ford: Speaking Out, Savings Lives", created by Boston playwright Lisa Rafferty. The production shines a light on the extraordinary First Lady using her own voice, voices from her family and friends, White House news accounts, and letters from her critics and admirers. The cast of ten plays over 30 roles, including the First Family, Maria von Trapp, President Clinton, Mary Tyler Moore, Steven Tyler, Elizabeth Taylor, Stevie Nicks and others. It begins shortly after President Ford took office in 1974, and continues through Betty Ford’s journey of recovery and advocacy, following her family’s intervention.
