JEANNETTE
Book by Lauren Gunderson & Jordan Ealey
Music & Lyrics by Ari Afsar
Jeannette is an inclusive, indie-pop musical that bursts forth with the true story of feminist, suffragist, pacifist and the first woman elected to Congress in 1916, Jeannette Rankin (1880-1973). Ours is a musical that will unearth her legacy with the electric sound of modern America - its fury, its soul-searching, it’s persistence, it’s diversity, and its radical heart.
