By
Mark St. Germain

Directed
by David Ellenstein

Starring
Kandis Chappell

In
this tour-de-force solo performance described as “brilliant and emotionally
relevant” by the Wall Street Journal, Kandis Chappell brings First
Lady Eleanor Roosevelt to vivid life. Candid and commanding, vulnerable and
visionary, from the shadows of the White House to the global stage, Eleanor
finds her purpose at life’s greatest crossroads, shaping a legacy that continues
to inspire.

The
story takes audiences from Hyde Park to The White House and beyond and provides
a rich personal account of the Roosevelt family, dynasty and presidency. If you
loved last year’s Eisenhower, you’ll be enthralled by the story of
this passionate and unforgettable woman.
