Bridgeport, CT -- Two-time Emmy Award-winning actress Loretta Swit (M*A*S*H) is coming to The Klein on Sunday May 1, 2016 to perform in “Eleanor Roosevelt: Her Secret Journey”, a play written by Rhoda Lerman. The 90-minute performance starts at 5:30 pm.
People’s United Bank is a proud sponsor of this event.
Throughout her life, Eleanor Roosevelt found the courage to face her challenges and discovered that they made her stronger. From supportive spouse of an American aristocrat and politician to wronged wife to advocate for the rights of those who had no champion, Eleanor grew at every step. ELEANOR ROOSEVELT, HER SECRET JOURNEY begins when President Truman asks her to head the American delegation to the newly created United Nations. Knowing this would be a big step for any woman, she reviews her life before deciding to accept the offer that ultimately landed her on the world stage. Loretta Swit, best known for her many years on M*A*S*H as Major Houlihan, portrays Eleanor in this rewarding one-woman play. While this marks Loretta Swit’s first time performing on the Klein stage, Eleanor Roosevelt herself appeared at the Klein in October 1953.
