Kippy, Pray for the Dead and Fight Like Hell for the Living Trailer.
Channel: Gail Phaneuf
Date: 2020-08-04

A one-woman theatrical imagining of Kip Tiernan, social justice hero and founder of Rosie's Place, The Greater Boston Food Bank, Healthcare for the Homeless, The Poor People's United Fund, Community Works and many more.  Kip was an inspiration to me and countless others.  She had a deep passion for music and theatre that we shared.  

Written and performed by Gail Phaneuf.  This show was filmed and edited in isolation during the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic.

​Kippy believed that you should start helping people with a cup of coffee, a hot meal and a safe place to experience humanity and warmth. Her story is deserving of retelling over and over again and her indomitable spirit lives on. She was a true Boston treasure and a savior to those who were forgotten by society.
