North Coast Repertory Theatre

For two weeks only - She was called the heart of the presidency. Here, she speaks for herself.
While sitting on a park bench in Washington, D.C., contemplating the death of her husband, former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt candidly reveals the many facets of her storied life in a riveting one-woman play. Award-winning actor Kandis Chappell deftly illuminates the witty, feisty, vulnerable woman who was considered the heart of FDR’s presidency. Exploring both the public and private persona of this remarkable woman, Mark St. Germain (Dancing Lessons, Becoming Dr. Ruth, Freud’s Last Session) captures the essence of the woman who left an indelible mark on American history. For those who love honest, pull-no-punches drama, this is one you cannot miss! 
“North Coast Rep’s ‘Eleanor’ is a thoughtful, insightful and well-cast look at the former first lady.” – The San Diego Union-Tribune
“Chappell’s mastery of the subtleties of Roosevelt’s sensibilities, suffering and successes will keep you engaged and enlightened. Do not miss this opportunity to share an evening with an outstanding woman who carved much of this country’s history, and whose legacy lives on today.” -Jenni Prisk, critic
"A wonderful portrayal of one of the most influential women in U.S. history. ‘Eleanor’ is a wonderful gift to local theater lovers. Don’t pass it up." - San Diego Stage and Screen
“North Coast Rep’s production of ‘Eleanor’ is an hour and a half of wonderful insight, humor, memories and inspiration into the life of one of the great ladies of United States history.” –The Vista Press and The North Coast Daily Star
"A brilliant solo performance. This riveting biographical drama is not to be missed!" - CultureVulture
“Chappell’s charm illustrates the pure theatre-going experience. One actor, one act, one set, and an enchanting time.” – Fromanother0
“Actor Kandis Chappell is a one-woman tour de force. Director David Ellenstein has done an amazing job with this impressive show. Chappell’s emotions run the entire gamut of the human experience. She is funny, witty, devastated, lonely, brave, and committed. The actor’s timing, voice and entire bearing recall her character, and while Chappell is significantly more feminine than Mrs. Roosevelt, one nearly does a double take.” – San Diego Jewish World
