A Theatrical Tribute to Lesser Known Women of the American Revolution

Step back in time and discover the untold stories of 5 courageous women, both patriot and loyalist, American and foreign born, who witnessed, chronicled and in some cases changed the course of the American Revolution.

A few of the remarkable women in this powerful theatrical presentation:

  • A Massachusetts housewife who led an all-female militia to capture British spies.
  • A German baroness who followed her Hessian general husband into the British camps.
  • A fearless Georgian farmer’s wife who stood her ground against a Redcoat search party—alone.
  • And two more bold, forgotten heroines who helped shape a nation.

Discover their courage. Hear their voices. Experience the Revolution.
