Governor Whitmer is making appearances across Michigan to promote her new memoir

Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s new memoir, “True Gretch: What I Learned About Life, Leadership, and Everything in Between,” was released today. To celebrate, she’s embarking on a small promotional tour this month that includes a stop in Michigan.

On Monday, July 22, at 7 p.m., she will appear at the Purple Rose Theater in Chelsea and speak with theater founder and artistic director Jeff Daniels. Daniels is an Emmy-winning actor known for his work in films such as “The Purple Rose of Cairo,” “Dumb and Dumber” and “Pleasantville,” television series such as HBO’s “The Newsroom,” and Broadway hits such as “God of Carnage” and “To Kill a Mockingbird.”

(Relevant to this particular discussion: Many may remember a scene from the pilot episode of “Newsroom” that went viral in 2012 in which Daniels’ character rages and laments the current state of America.)

The Purple Rose event is for ticket holders only. In-person tickets are general admission; they cost $35 and include a pre-signed copy of “True Gretch.” Virtual attendance tickets also include a pre-signed copy and the option to pick it up at Chelsea’s Serenity Books or receive it via domestic shipping, as well as a link to watch it from home. Virtual tickets are $30 with in-store pickup or $36 with domestic shipping.
