Truly Eleanor

The Strength Behind a Historic Legacy.

In this three-person live performance, Eleanor shares some of the most private and meaningful moments of her life—her lonely childhood; her joyful courtship and marriage to her fifth cousin, Franklin; her devastation upon discovering Franklin’s love affair with her own social secretary; her determination to help make him president after his polio diagnosis; her active role during his presidency; and her eventual triumph at the United Nations.

Truly Eleanor offers a candid look at our greatest First Lady’s courage and her profound contributions to human rights and liberty for all. After the performance, the cast will open the floor for a discussion of the themes and subject matter.
