Ask Amy: An Evening with Amy Dickinson
Amy Dickinson is a syndicated advice columnist, penning the "Ask Amy" column, which appears in over 200 newspapers, including the L.A. Times, The Chicago Tribune, The Oregonian and The Washington Post. Dickinson made news around the country in 2003 when she was chosen to step into the void created by the death of legendary advice columnist Ann Landers. Under Dickinson's stewardship, the advice column has come of age.

Amy has had an eclectic career. She also has worked as a producer at NBC News, edited stories for National Public Radio, and wrote a column on family life for TIME magazine. Her radio stories, heard for the last ten years on NPR's All Things Considered, have garnered her a following of listeners who are attracted to her quirkiness on parenting, relationships, and popular culture.

In addition, Amy has had stories published in Esquire, Allure, O magazine, The New York Times and The Washington Post. She is a regular panelist on the popular radio current events quiz show, Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, heard on 400 NPR stations and is an occasional guest on such programs as The Today Show, The Rachael Ray Show, NPR's Talk of the Nation, and CNN's American Morning.

$45 plus $1.50 handling per general admission ticket.
