Advertisement
Step into the life and legacy of Jeanne Robert Foster, a prolific early 20th-century poet and journalist from the southern Adirondacks, in this one-woman performance by storyteller Eileen Egan Mack. Through stories, poetry, and dramatic readings, Mack brings Foster to life, tracing her journey from her Adirondack roots to becoming a celebrated poet, journalist, and social reformer.
Drawing inspiration from Foster's beloved works, this engaging performance explores how the landscapes, people, and traditions of the Adirondacks shaped her writing and enduring legacy. Discover the voice of a pioneering woman whose love for the mountains inspired a lifetime of creativity and whose words continue to celebrate the spirit of New York's North Country.
This storytelling event is sponsored by StoryCircle of the Capital District in connection with TELLEBRATION, the annual celebration of stories and storytellers.
