SUMMARY:Abigail Adams Founding Mother
DESCRIPTION: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.” \nAbigail: Founding Mother\nMarch 14\, 2026\, 3:00pm – 4:00pm\nHistoric Blenheim\, 3610 Blenheim Blvd\, Fairfax\, VA 22030\nFree\nIntended for ages 12 and up. \nThank you to the Fairfax City Commission on the Arts for making this program possible.\n \nAbigail’s friend\, Eliza Hamilton\, will be appearing at The Women’s Storytelling Festival\, in Fairfax City\, March 19 – 22\, 2025. They are both on the most intimate terms with Ms. Wells. \nMegan Wells is a respected and experienced story and theater artist. She is known for creating an intimate storytelling atmosphere\, infusing her characters with living souls\, and delivering the experience with delicious theatrical timing. An award-winning storyteller\, Megan performs in museums and symphonies\, enhances education for thousands of children\, entertains families in festivals and libraries\, and helps executives\, actors\, and storytellers craft powerful stories to effect change.
