Just arrived in Summer 2010:
"ROSIE THE RIVETER"
Learn the fascinating story of 'Rosie the Riveter' through Rose Leigh Monroe,
who worked at the world's largest aircraft factory - Willow Run in Michigan.

"Mary Ann's portrayal of Rosie the Riveter was "gosh darn" perfect. From costume and character to well-researched stories, she captured the essence of life in the factory, difficulties at home, and even the impact of politics and public opinion during World War II. Her performance takes living history to new heights. An unforgettable and educational experience!"

[~ Dik Daso, Curator,
National Air and Space Museum, Washington, DC]
