South Park Theatre is featuring, as its second show this season, ‘Tea for Three,’ which chronicles the time that three first ladies spent in the White House – Lady Bird Johnson, Pat Nixon, and Betty Ford.

Tea for Three trio
Pictured are, all seated, Renee Ruzzi-Kern (Pat Nixon), Allison Cahill (Lady Bird Johnson), and Lesa Donati (Betty Ford) being served tea.

Set up as a monologue-style presentation, ‘Tea for Three’ allows each woman to command the stage solo as she discusses her hopes, fears, loves, and dreams for her time as first lady and beyond.

The play takes audience members through different key points in history – the Johnsons moving into the White House after President Kennedy’s assassination, the Nixons’ time in the White House during the Watergate scandal, and the Fords’ arrival in the White House after Nixon’s resignation. Importantly, the signs of the time change just as much, with audiences aware of how the role of first lady shifts over the years to allow for her to become much more involved in White House goings-on.

Starring Allison Cahill (Lady Bird Johnson), Renee Ruzzi-Kern (Pat Nixon), and Lesa Donati (Betty Ford), the play is directed by Allison M. Wealand, with Andrea Carriker taking on the role of stage manager.

Performances take place on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15. ‘Tea for Three’ runs through June 3. Call the box office to make your reservations today at 412-831-8552.
