Join us for a performance of LBJ: The Play, a hilarious and heartfelt original production by Sunny Zimmerman ’16, co-directed by Caitlan Moore ’16, and devised alongside Albert Muzquiz ’17 and Soraya Perry ’17 with Cory Epstein ’13 as co-producer. The show tells the story of local performer Sunny Zimmerman, hired to give a simple historical presentation as President Lyndon B. Johnson. The only problem? Sunny’s gone method, and the presentation quickly goes off the rails.
The performance will be followed by an exclusive 20-minute Q&A and reception with a complimentary beverage with Sunny. Use code VASSAR for 15% off your ticket!

Rose Knox is the foremost forgotten woman entrepreneur of the 20th century. After years of secretly running the company, she officially took over Knox Gelatine from her husband and drew upon traditional ideals of domesticity and womanhood to turn it into an iconic American brand.
Rachel Greenfield ’77 tells Rose’s story in her new book and she’ll join us for our next Author Talk. In-person attendees can purchase copies of Rose Knox for $25 at the event (cash, check, or Venmo accepted), which Rachel will be happy to sign!
