Eleanor Roosevelt
"First Lady of the World"

Thursday, March 15, 6:30 p.m.
at the Waterford Library

 

Come and enjoy Jessica Michna's portrayal of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. 
All of Ms. Michna's portrayals of First Ladies are highly acclaimed, compelling and emotionally riveting,

You'll laugh along with her humorous anecdotes about life in the White House and share her tears as she realtes how the horrors of war impacted the First Families.

A Synopsis of this Portrayal

As World War II ended, America experienced the loss of its leader, President Franklin Roosevelt.  After fifteen years as First Lady, Eleanor Roosevelt had hoped to retire and perhaps write her memoirs.  By 1948 the world had changed dramatically and so had Eleanor. 

She shares with her audience her tradedies and triumphs.  Born during the opulent wealth of American's "Golden Age," she would grow from the shy, homely orphan into a confident, driven woman.  Tempered by personal tragedy, she would emerge as a champion of civil rights, author, and stateswoman. 

She is best summed up by President Harry S. Truman who dubbed her "The First Lady of the World."

Highschoolers, history buffs, college students, drama students,
literature lovers, seniors, and all who enjoy an evening of good entertainment will enjoy this presentation!


The event is free, but we ask that you do call the library to reserve your spot.
The Friends of Waterford Library will provide tea and cookies after the presentation, too.
