Piece Description
Thousands of Sarah Palin's supporters have been turning up for book signings around the country.
But even some of Palin's opponents are kind of curious to hear what's in the book. That's why last week, a Kansas City theater director gathered together a bunch of actors to do a satirical reading of former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin's new book, "Going Rogue." That's why producer and director Lisa Cordes decided to organize a dramatic reading of the book. She imagined it as part Greek tragi-comedy, and part drinking game.
**** This piece might be perceived as politically biased - it would pair well with another piece about Sarah Palin's supporters, maybe those attending her book tour. ****
