SUMMARY:Deborah Sampson Gannett:  Reflections on her Revolutionary War Experiences
DESCRIPTION:Julia Getz\, actor and educator will portray Deborah Sampson the Massachusetts State Heroine  as she describes her life as Continental Soldier Robert Shurtlieff.  She was a woman\, prohibited from fighting for her country\, who risked imprisonment and dishonor to do so.  She will be joined by a small company of Minutemen in full costume.  The material is based on the speech she gave when she toured Massachusetts\, New Hampshire and New York in 1802\, along with  her experiences recounted in her own words in the 1866 version  of  Hermann Mann’s “The Female Review ” originally published in 1797.  The 1866 version edited by Adam Vinton contains Deborah Sampson’s rewritten descriptions of her impressive exploits.   They describe an unusual woman who is now is the Official Heroine of the Commonwealth.   Her story is a powerful example of courage\, ingenuity and a fight for recognition in a world that often-denied women their place in history.

SUMMARY:Agawam Historical Association Spring Meeting - Abigail Adams: Liberty & Legacy
DESCRIPTION:The public is invited to attend the Spring meeting of the Agawam Historical Association\, when Sheryl Faye will portray Abigail Adams in “Abigail Adams – Liberty & Legacy.” \nSometimes considered a founder of the REPUBLIC\, Abigail Adams is now designated the First second lady and the Second First lady of the UNITED STATES. \nAdams’ life is one of the most documented of the first ladies: she is remembered for the many letters she wrote to her husband while he stayed in Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania\, during the Continental Congresses. John frequently sought the advice of Abigail on many matters\, and their letters are filled with intellectual discussions on government and politics. In one of her more famous letters she implores her husband and his colleagues\, all of whom were male\, to\, “…remember the ladies…If particular care and attention is not paid to the Ladies we are determined to foment a Rebellion\, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice\, or Representation.” Her letters also serve as eyewitness accounts of the American Revolutionary War home front. \nSheryl Faye has masterfully brought to life important historical women in performances across the United States. Her captivating one-woman shows immerse audiences in a multimedia experience that inspires viewers and sparks their interest to explore more. \nThis event is free and open to the public.
