History Theatre's new play THE ROOT BEER LADY, a solo piece written and performed by Kim Schultz

TCTB REVIEW ROUNDUP!
Our bloggers loved History Theatre's new play THE ROOT BEER LADY, a solo piece written and performed by Kim Schultz, about the last non-indigenous human to live in the majestic Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Only three (nearly sold out) performances remain!
"It’s clear that Kim Schultz connected with Molter as her portrayal is so affectionate. She embraces the wonder of a young Molter experiencing the majesty of the wilderness, and gradually over the course of 80 minutes imperceptibly changes into the mature woman who spent 56 years living in the place she fell in love with. "
"This is one of the more beautiful and effective designs I've seen at the History Theatre, with all elements working together to really create the feeling of the BWCAW."
"Oh my word what an absolutely charming show."

"Kim Schultz paints such a vivid picture of Dorothy’s life and adventures on her island that I could imagine it happening. The image of her dragging Bill on a toboggan through a blizzard to get medical help was especially memorable."
