"The Revolt of 'Mother'" performed by Michel LaRue In-Person
We are celebrating Women’s History Month with a live performance of Mary E. Wilkins Freeman’s The Revolt of “Mother” from our friend, Michèle LaRue.
Michèle LaRue engagingly recites and performs the story of the Penn family. Long ago, Adoniram Penn promised his wife that he would build a proper house on their New England farm. He even showed her the spot. That was early in their marriage—two children ago. Now, as their eldest prepares for her wedding, the family still crams into the old, shabby cottage…and Father is building a barn where the new house should be. It’s the last straw for Mother, and Father’s in for a surprise.

“Performing these vintage tales is a joy,” Michèle declares. “Their authors knew they’d be read aloud, so they wrote for the ear as well as for the eye. The stories were family entertainment long before the radio, and they enthrall today’s audiences. We still crave to simply listen to a tale well told.” For more about Michèle LaRue, TALES WELL TOLD, and Places, Please, Act One, visit http://michelelarue.com and http://warrenkliewer.com
Michèle is a member of both actors’ unions—Actors’ Equity Association and SAGAFTRA, we are excited to have her share her talents with us once again.
