SHOW #1

SHOW #2

Patriots of Liberty is a one-woman tour de force musical presentation where four noted women of American History are portrayed. This Old Hat is an original musical that brings the following women of American History to life: Betsy Ross tells her unique story about the first American flag; Deborah Sampson tells of her adventures when she disguised herself as a man to fight in the Revolutionary War; Elizabeth Cady Stanton speaks of the Women’s Suffrage Movement, women’s dress reform and her contemporary, Harriet Tubman; Amelia Earhart tells the story of her solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean.

Leading Ladies is Volume II in the “This Old Hat” programs. This inventive and engaging event focuses on five more noted American Women who were all the “first” to do something. Including: Dolly Madison tells her story of saving the Declaration of Independence during the War of 1812 and how she served as the “Hostess in the President’s House” for sixteen years; Elizabeth Blackwell was the first American Woman to become a doctor. She tells the story of her first day at medical school; Nellie Bly was the first under cover reporter. She tells of the story of how she spent ten days in Blackwell’s Island...New York’s notorious madhouse; Belva Lockwood, in 1884, was the first woman to run for President. Belva Lockwood also sings and talks about Eleanor Roosevelt, the remarkable American Woman who never wanted to be a president’s wife, but came to be known as “First Lady of the World.”
