A unique blend of first-person performance and multimedia presentation.

The year is 1774. Abigail Adams invites a group of women to Plymouth for a “Spinning Bee” at the home of James and Mercy Warren. The audience is part of the meeting where Abigail introduces several of the Revolutionary Women such as historian and author Mercy Otis Warren, poet Phillis Wheatly and patriot Deborah Sampson.

The performance is followed by an informative and visually rich power point presentation providing a close-up look at several members of the daughters of Liberty, focusing on important contributions they made for Independence.
