Join us to experience this re-imagined, pop-Broadway story of Jeannette: The Musical, telling the story of Jeannette Rankin, the first woman elected to Congress in 1917 — years before women were granted the right to vote.
Jeannette: The Musical explores the very meaning of heroism, feminism, and activism with three women with three different intersectional perspectives and identities playing the title role. Jeannette: The Musical asks us to understand the past and challenge the present in order for us to move forward.
