Testimonial

Anne Pasquale was great! I would like to see other Living History shows. I believe she would do a great job portraying any woman from history. (Suggestions: first woman in sports/medicine/science/politics.)

Description

Armed with a bagful of props and her trusty sidekick musician, one actress brings the tales of the Old West to life with all the spirit of a buffalo stampede. “Calamity Jane” is a show rich in legend, sing-a-longs, live re-enactments and even a square dance or two. This show makes a perfect accompaniment to the Westward Expansion curriculum.

Objectives

1. To have children learn about the history of the United States, specifically the old West during the 1800s, by recreating the major events in the life of one of our most famous pioneers.
2. To make children aware that there were cowgirls as well as cowboys.
3. To highlight the role of women in society.
