From the MPL's Website:
Massachusetts native Clara Barton was a pioneer teacher, nurse and humanitarian. During the Civil War, Barton established the main agency to obtain and distribute supplies to wounded soldiers, often providing supplies from her own funds. Later her decade-long effort to organize humanitarian aid led to the founding of the American Red Cross. Jessa Piaia will portray Barton and tell the story of this courageous woman.
This performance is appropriate for children ages 10 and up accompanied by an adult.
Ms. Piaia studied performance at London’s Oval House Theatre and graduated from the University of Massachusetts in Boston. She works at Harvard University.
