The Eisemann Center will present the Southwest premiere of actor/playwright Tom Dugan’s new play, Jackie, as part of the Eisemann Center Presents series.
In Jackie, actor Kait Haire portrays former First Lady Jackie Kennedy in a powerful and revealing narrative that begins on June 5, 1968, when she receives word of her brother-in-law Robert Kennedy’s assassination.
Set in her 5th Avenue New York City apartment, the audience takes a journey with a distressed Jackie who’s wondering how she could possibly live through another great loss. She contemplates a course of action that would greatly surprise most Americans. The play’s journey sheds light on the profound emotional and mental anguish that nearly pushed her to the brink.
