The women depicted in THAT WOMAN - THE MONOLOGUE SHOW are a representative few (of many) women who were involved with President John F. Kennedy. Their stories are an often overlooked footnote in US history, but they are, in actuality, a vital component of the story of the United States of America. Every interaction we have as human beings changes us, at least in some small way, and the President of the United States is not immune to this. The interactions the President had with these women helped to form his character, and thus, affected him and his policies as leader of the country. Some of these women, such as Mimi Alford, Blaze Starr, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and Judith Exner, gave us their stories in the form of books, interviews, etc. that formed the basis of these monologues. Regarding others, such as Priscilla Wear, very little is known, or, in the case of the circumstances surrounding Mary Pinchot Meyer, remain a mystery, and the playwrights have used artistic license to imagine various scenarios and possible feelings in writing these monologues, which all add up to a fascinating night of theatre.
