Eleanor Roosevelt – The First Lady of The World In-Person
Join actress Sheryl Faye as she brings First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt to life in a fascinating historical program!
After suffering through an unhappy childhood, and losing her parents and one of her brothers, Eleanor Roosevelt figured out where she fit in and could make a difference: she grew up and became an American politician and the longest-serving First Lady of the United States. She was the first presidential spouse to hold press conferences, write a syndicated newspaper column, and speak at a national convention. She advocated for expanded roles for women in the workplace, the civil rights of African Americans and Asian Americans, and the rights of World War II refugees. Eleanor also became one of the first delegates to The United Nations. She is one of the top ten most admired people of the 20th century.
“…as individuals we live cooperatively, and, to the best of our ability, serve the community in which we live…our own success, to be real, must contribute.” – Eleanor Roosevelt
Sheryl Faye received a BFA in Acting from Emerson College and is a full time Actress. She currently stars in 11 one-woman shows that tour all over the world and has been the recipient of many awards for both stage and film.
