In her new childrens book She Persisted, Chelsea Clinton tells the story of 13 inspirational women in American history and in our contemporary times who never took no for answer.
Now, those women including Harriet Tubman, Nellie Bly, Sonia Sotomayor and Oprah Winfrey will become characters in a new musical presented by the Bay Area Childrens Theatre.
She Persisted, the Musical, is one of four new works being created for the Oakland-based theaters 15th anniversary season. In the stage adaptation, Emani and Peters third-grade field trip to a museum turns into an adventure in time travel, during which they meet inspirational women overcoming barriers and making history.(snip)
We are thrilled to have the opportunity to bring the riveting stories of these heroines to life on stage, said BACT Executive Artistic Director Nina Meehan. Young audiences need examples of women who set high goals for themselves and persevere in achieving them.
For the production, BACT will work with composer Deborah Wicks La Puma and Emmy Award-winning screen and TV writer Adam Tobin.
She Persisted, the Musical, will be open at BACTs Berkeley Theatre Center Feb. 2, 2019. The show then moves to San Francisco and Sunnyvale after its run at the Berkeley venue.

I don’t even think that Stalinist culture went so far as to turn the insipid, half-witted writings of the leader’s children into plays.
At Stanford she was a lush.
Ah, the Bay Area. Poop on the streets and crap in the theaters.

Tell me they aren’t grooming her to run for president.
She’s running.
We just have not yet been told for what office in what state.
Hillary isn't in there? That's a shame.
This isn’t another skit where they throw used menstrual pads at the audience, is it? They are always angry and screaming.
