A pioneering force in American democracy, Eleanor Roosevelt played a pivotal role in the early years of the League of Women Voters following its founding in 1920. As Vice President of Legislative Affairs, she helped shape policy priorities, champion progressive reforms, and trained women in nonpartisan political action—strengthening their voice in a newly enfranchised nation. Eleanor brings her extraordinary story to life in a tour-de-force performance by acclaimed actress Kandis Chappell . Described by The Wall Street Journal as “brilliant and emotionally relevant,” the production offers an intimate portrait of a woman who was at once candid and commanding, vulnerable and visionary—tracing her journey from the White House to the global stage. Performances will run from May 13 - 31, 2026.
