Anthony Michael Hall Still Dealing With Politics During Dead Zone Break

From The Daily Trojan News

In the second scene, Anthony Michael Hall (a long way from "The Breakfast Club"), playing Kushner himself, invited Bush herself to step onstage and discuss the play. Oscar-winner Sally Field strolled out as the second first lady, and the two launched into what were essentially parallel harangues for about fifteen minutes. The hostilities were interrupted only by the production's stage manager's (Charlayne Woodard of "Sunshine State") description of her dream of George W. Bush being all-but-lynched on the floor of the U.N. by the leaders of the world

The one-night-only event, which benefited the Democratic Party, attracted several stars.
It was a Republican's nightmare at the Ricardo Montalban Theatre Monday night as more Hollywood liberals than you could shake a stick at were gathered for a fundraising reading of Tony Kushner's "Only We Who Guard the Mystery Shall Be Unhappy." For Democrats, the performance, the star-studded cast and the packed house were a Fantasy Island.
