Music Theatre of Madison presents: Beyond The Ingenue, a curated revue of songs that celebrate the complex roles of women in musical theatre, beyond just the ladies who pine for a man!

Forward Theater Company has been performing monologues in the libraries since 2010 and audiences continue to ask for more! Every other year, Forward puts out a call for original monologues based on a common theme. The best twelve are chosen and performed by professional actors in a weekend of shows at Overture Center. Those same actors (and monologues) will be performing a sampling at your library.

Jessica Michna shares with the audience Roosevelt's tragedies and triumphs.
Born into the opulent wealth of America's "Golden Age" she would grow from the shy, homely orphan into confident, driven woman. Annealed by personal tragedy, she would emerge as a champion of civil rights, author and stateswoman. Roosevelt is best summed up by President Harry S. Truman, who dubbed her "The First Lady of the World.”
Program is part of the Actively Aging Luncheon.
