Step into the life of Louisa Catherine Adams, First Lady, activist, and partner to John Quincy Adams, in this compelling one-woman play. The year is 1848: John Quincy Adams has suffered a fatal stroke, and Louisa reflects on her decades of public service, her years as First Lady, and her unique role supporting her husband’s fight against slavery in the House of Representatives.
As a widow, Louisa now considers her own path. Will her correspondence with activist Angelina Grimké inspire her to join the burgeoning women’s rights movement? Join award-winning actress Laura Rocklyn for a historical journey exploring personal courage, public duty, and the untold stories of one of America’s most remarkable First Ladies.
The performance runs approximately 40 minutes, followed by a 15–20 minute Q&A.
