TEN MINUTE PLAY: Eleanor was the First Lady. Amelia was a record-breaking pilot. They're both dead. In TO BE AN INVINCIBLE WOMAN, two historical women and best friends meet again in whatever place waits beyond death to face the way they were separated, what they could have been and what they were.

    "To Be An Invincible Woman" is one of the best historical plays I've ever encountered. One of the greatest aviators of all time paired with one of the most influential first ladies? What a brilliant idea! I love plays that are able to show you what's underneath the history book representation of a person, and this play delved to a deep, human place in such a short time! Wonderful work! I'm sure both of these women would be honored to see themselves thus represented.

    This play was a beautifully heartbreaking and insightful look into two remarkable women in a space that allowed them to reconnect and uncover truths and vulnerabilities that life on earth didn't quite allow. Both characters felt organic and connected in their questions, regrets, and hope. An excellent short play!

    A powerful piece on what it takes to be an invincible woman with two great figures as examples. A lesson in pressure to perform and meet the expectations of others. No one is invincible, everyone feels fear and we're all human. Live in gratitude for the moments we have to contribute and enjoy life!
