Two Elizas A solo show by Jenny Mercein

Following a sold-out run in 2024, The Hermann-Grima House is thrilled to welcome back Jenny Mercein’s TWO ELIZAS for an encore performance this March. This acclaimed solo show explores the true story of Jenny’s ancestor Eliza Mercein Barry and her landmark 1847 U.S. Supreme Court case, Barry v. Mercein, which established a woman's right to retain custody of her child. In an emotionally gripping intergenerational reflection on resilience and women's rights, Jenny mirrors her ancestor with her own trials and tribulations to motherhood. Doors at 5:30pm Show at 6:00pm. Viewer discretion is advised, 15 years of age or older is recommended.
