Kippy - Pray for the Dead... - Deertrees Theatre

Kippy - Pray for the Dead and Fight Like Hell for the Living!
Friday, Sept 1st 7:00 PM
Tickets: $20

A one-woman theatrical imagining of Kip Tiernan, “Kippy - Pray for the Dead and Fight Like Hell for the Living!” explores the life of social justice hero and founder of Boston’s Rosie's Place, The Greater Boston Food Bank, Healthcare for the Homeless, and The Poor People's United Fund, and many others. Kip Tiernan was an extraordinary character and a force of nature who changed the face of social justice in Boston. Passionate and salty-tongued, she engendered outrage and empathy for the plight of poor and homeless women in crisis. She Kip founded Rosie’s Place in 1974, the first ever homeless shelter for women in the United States. Written and performed by Gail Phaneuf. The show was written and filmed in isolation during the pandemic, when live shows were cancelled. Do not miss this live performance at Deertrees!
