Abigail Adams – Liberty & Legacy
Performed by Sheryl Faye

Sometimes considered a founder of the REPUBLIC, Abigail Adams is now designated the FIRST second lady and the SECOND FIRST lady of the UNITED STATES.

Adams’ life is one of the most documented of the first ladies: she is remembered for the many letters she wrote to her husband while he stayed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, during the Continental Congresses. John frequently sought the advice of Abigail on many matters, and their letters are filled with intellectual discussions on government and politics. In one of her more famous letters she implores her husband and his colleagues, all of whom were male, to, “…remember the ladies…If particular care and attention is not paid to the Ladies we are determined to foment a Rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or Representation.” Her letters also serve as eyewitness accounts of the American Revolutionary War home front.

Sheryl Faye has masterfully brought to life important historical women in performances across the United States. Her captivating one-woman shows immerse audiences in a multimedia experience that inspires viewers and sparks their interest to explore more.

This event is free and open to the public.
