A WOMAN NAMED GRAVITY
written and performed by Elizabeth Braaten Palmieri
featuring live music by Ironweed
April 26-28, 7:30pm (doors open 7pm)
@ Skylark Bookshop
22 S. 9th St
It takes a woman to ground a genius. We all know that famous white haired man in the white suit with the cigar in his mouth spinning stories of river life and epic adventures, but what do we know about his better half? This new one-woman play does a deep dive into the life of Olivia Langdon Clemens and her life with Sam Clemens aka Mark Twain. In collaboration with Skylark Bookshop and the United Methodist Church.
