Abigail Adams Founding Mother

In Abigail: Founding Mother, national award-winning actor and storyteller, Megan Wells, brings Abigail Adams to life. In this humorous and historically accurate portrayal, Megan Wells vivifies the full measure of Abigail’s contribution to our democracy.  Behind the scenes but very firm, Abigail rode the risky edge of feminine power.  Not too much, not too little – choose your words carefully – just right.  Relevant, moving and wry with wit, Megan’s Abigail awakens new perspectives of how we must “remember the ladies.”
