Aunt Hattie's House: Reconstructed at Be Well Productions

This virtual celebration of Women's History Month will feature a newly revised version of Aunt Hattie's House: Reconstructed. The live-streamed performance will take place at 2:00 pm. The one-woman play, written and performed by Emma Palzere-Rae, will be followed by a talk-back.The play explores what compelled Harriet Beecher Stowe to pen Uncle Tom's Cabin, the best-selling novel that is said to have changed the course of United States history. Published ten years before the start of the Civil War, the book's stark portrayal of slavery sparked a heated national conversation on abolition. Meanwhile, Stowe, was raising seven children and, through her writing, she became the primary breadwinner of her household. The play explores Stowe's passion for justice, while giving us a look into the life of the 19th century working mother.Aunt Hattie's House: Reconstructed is directed by Albert Cremin, with Production Stage Management by Carin Jennie Estey.
