March is National Women’s History Month and we’re proud to celebrate with our latest fundraising event, Amelia Earhart: In Her Own Words, a one-woman play written and performed by acclaimed actress Roberta E. Bassin. Proceeds from this event go to programs such as Tech Trek, which provides STEM education for middle school girls.
About the Performance:
It is 1937, Lae, New Guinea. Emmy-submitted actress, Roberta E. Bassin, brings to life famed aviatrix Amelia Earhart as she is about to leave on the last leg of her round-the-world flight reflecting on her childhood, passion for flying, and her fight for the rights of women. The show culminates with an exciting audience Q and A for discussion.
