Event Details
Poet and author, abolitionist and nurse, patriot and suffragist, Louisa May Alcott was so much more than the author of Little Women. In this 45-minute show, followed by a Q&A session, the audience will meet with this prolific American author at the height of her health and success. We will learn of the hopes, the heartbreaks, and the experiences of Louisa May Alcott's life from which she drew inspiration for her novels, short stories, and poetry. Please join us on this date for an amazing theatrical performance by Debra Ann Miller, of Chicago, written using excerpts from Alcott's letters and journals. This special presentation allows Louisa May Alcott to speak to us in her own words: those of her childhood, her experiences as a Civil War nurse, her struggles to support her family and the equal rights of all! After the show and Q&A, Ms. Miller will be available for pictures. Pre-registration is requested. Light refreshments will be served.
