Agnes in American History, or The Roots are Rotten

March 1 @ 3pm

Kyle A Smith - Playwright/Director

Agnes is an autistic time traveler looking to travel to obscure American historical events for her doctoral thesis. William E. Riker's announcement of running for office, Timothy Dexter's "funeral", and Giles Corey's execution. Really though, she's mostly interested in connecting with her women ancestors. As her ancestor's situations get more dire, Agnes is forced to choose between standing up for the women of the past or preserving her future. Agnes in American History is about the obscure men who history remembers, and all of the "Elizabeths" who history has forgotten.
