Comedy with Music Characters: 1 male, 1 or 2 female, flexible casting Interior Set Set in a small town just outside of Nashville, this slice-of-life comedic play with music is a genuine look into the hearts of everyday people. As the proprietor, Barbara Jean, tries to figure out "When is it courageous and when is it just plain crazy to hang on to love," her customers come in and take a load off by sharing their funny, heartbreaking humanity. There's Miss Morris a nurse who's planning a Pyramid prayer-time, Miss Tessie, a senior citizen who's gonna make you laugh and steal your heart, a Tupperware brandishing, plate-dropping waitress named Jeanette, Lombardo-a country-singing hairdresser, Tommy Lee, who is recovering from a dog-bite and Melissa a mixed-up Mother of three. Throughout it all, the wacky DJ from WATR, the local radio station, breaks in with local news, commercials about baldness and whole slew of quirky, unforgettable toe-tapping songs. "In fact, it's a perfectly judged balance of flavors-exactly what you'd hope for in theatrical comfort food." -Time Out New York "Winsome and winning...alive with homespun charm. In short, this countrified pocket musical is a little miracle of art and heart." -TheatreMania "Funny stuff! Wonderful! You got to go see this show!" -WOR Radio "A slice of theatre as tasty and tangy as a piece of peach pie...Barbara's Blue Kitchen: this is a place where people actually eat together in community, rather than in their own separate worlds." -Show Business "Sometimes funny, sometimes heartbreaking, it's a pleasure to spend time in Barbara's Blue Kitchen." -Traveler's USA Notebook "It's a tasty down-home dish..." -BACKSTAGE.com "The charismatic Lori Fischer serves up a sort of down-home Bridge and Tunnel with Barbara's Blue Kitchen..." -HX Magazine "Like Greater Tuna and Steel Magnolias, Barbara's Blue Kitchen, a play with music by and starring Lori Fischer, echoes the eccentric humor and pathos of former explorations into the human and humorous southern gothic landscape...a lovely variety of moods ranging from rueful to toe-tapping..." -New York News "Ms. Fischer has a lot of strengths, chief among them the truth that rings through ...her monologues ...She also has a sure ear for a down-home truism." -The Cincinnati Enquirer "...Wonderful, reminiscent of Garrison Keillor's weekly monologue on 'A Prairie Home Companion. ' It's tinged with gentle humor, affection and wisdom." -The Daily Gazette "Perfection...Great theatre..." -East Side Life "The playwright and actress herself is the intersection of seven memorable characters ...it's easy to see why people would want to hang out in her diner." -Cincinnati City Beat

A family saga (and thinly disguised autobiography), spanning five decades from the 1920s to the 1960s, this novel by Barbara Griffith was often referred to by her son, Bill Griffith, in creating his graphic memoir, "Invisible Ink: My Mother's Secret Love Affair with a Famous Cartoonist".
Wife of one president and mother of another, Barbara Bush was an outspoken first lady who looked more like her constituents than did her predecessors. A White House resident for only four years, she nevertheless became and remains one of the most admired women in the world.This new look at Barbara Bush draws on recently opened records at the Bush library, the first lady's many speeches, interviews with the first lady's staff, and an exclusive interview with Mrs. Bush to impart a new appreciation for this beloved former first lady. And while other biographies - and her own memoir - have hinted at seeming contradictions in the Barbara Bush persona, Myra Gutin looks squarely at her White House years to set the record straight and show that she was more than ""America's Grandmother"" in faux pearls.Gutin's portrait reveals a woman who was more of a success as first lady than her husband was as president - who in many ways was the public face of the George H. W. Bush administration. And while she wasn't an innovator as presidential wife, Gutin shows how the ""Silver Fox"" used her rich experience in politics to master the public relations side of first ladyship with as much skill as any White House spouse.Gutin argues that Barbara was more politically astute than George - even though she denied any input into policy-making and maintained an apolitical image. In fact, she played an integral role in campaigning, fund-raising, and other activities that often blurred the line between the humanitarian and the political. Piercing through the first lady's public persona, Gutin reveals Barbara's backstage political skills in action - along with her closely held views on social issues like gun control and abortion.From behind the facade of an ideal American family, Gutin also includes frank accounts of George H. W. Bush's alleged adultery and of the death of the Bushes' daughter Robin. In addition, she lends new insight into Barbara's relationship with her mother, her role as entertainer, and her role in wartime.Gutin gives us a vibrant woman who lent warmth to her husband's cool image and whose legacy lives in the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literary and several best-selling books. It is a richly textured narrative that depicts a woman of loyalty, candor, and common sense, who knew when and how to apply those qualities in the service of her husband.
