THIS EVENT HAS SOLD OUT. A SECOND PERFORMANCE HAS BEEN SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST 21, see below.
Meet first lady Eleanor Roosevelt in 1937, during her husband’s second term as president. In the 1920’s, Eleanor had worked to advance minimum wage, maximum hours, laws against child labor, women’s rights, women’s representation in government, world peace, and civil rights. She continued to advance her causes while her husband was in office. No other First Lady had ever taken on such a public role. Furthermore, Eleanor often served as her husband's eyes and ears across the United States by inspecting factories, inner city tenements, and military camps - because as a paraplegic, FDR was confined to a wheelchair.
Behind this public life is the story of a little girl who lost both parents before the age of ten, a debutante who felt trapped by society’s expectations, and a young wife who bore six and raised five children (one girl and four boys) before emerging as one of the 20th century’s most remarkable women.
The presentation will be followed by a Question and Answer period with Mrs. Roosevelt. This, in turn, will be followed by a Question and Answer period with the scholar/presenter Susan Marie Frontczak. Hear Eleanor Roosevelt’s views on what makes life worth living and how we can each make a difference in the midst of a strife-filled world — views at least as relevant today as they were 70 years ago.
The development of this program was funded in part by Boulder County Arts Alliance through the Neodata Endowment Grant Program.
