Join us as we celebrate Willa Cather's 150th birthday

with this dramatic and exciting performance! 

Prepare for a delightfully dramatic, comedic and compelling story as Prudence weaves the personal and intimate story behind the writer Willa Cather, one of the foremost women writers of the 20th century. 

In 1888, Willa Cather astounded her Nebraska neighbors with her brilliant mind and unconventional behavior. In spite of her success, her romantic life was fraught with conflict. Her work became her refuge and helped her to transcend the problems that beset her. As she often said, “That is happiness, to be dissolved in something complete and great.”

Actor & Storyteller, Prudence Wright Holmes has performed in almost a dozen movies including Sister Act 1 and II with Whoopi Goldberg and Kingpin with Woody Harrelson. She has been in four Broadway shows: Happy End with Meryl Streep, Inherit the Wind with George C. Scott, Lettice and Lovage with Maggie Smith, and The Light in the Piazza. Prudence has authored 14 plays, including 8 solo shows. Visit her website at prudencewrightholmes.com
