Description
At age 90, Jeannette Rankin tells the story of her life at the center of a turbulent era in American history. Growing up among the extreme winters and equally extreme summers of late 1800s Montana, she campaigned for the right of women to vote, and in 1916 became the first woman elected to Congress. She voted in Congress against America’s entrance into World War One, then cast the only vote against World War Two on the day after Pearl Harbor, and later continued her anti war efforts into the Vietnam era.

The Newtowne Players
The mission of the Newtowne Players is to promote all aspects of the performing arts in Southern Maryland. We provide an outlet for people in the community who are interested in theatre in any capacity at all. Whether their interest is performing, directing, writing, make up, costume design or technical support, we provide opportunities for all through education, growth and hands on experience of working as a volunteer in any of these areas of theatre. In the process, we provide quality entertainment to the surrounding communities. Our goal is to foster, promote and increase the public knowledge and appreciation of the arts and cultural activities in St. Mary's County and Southern Maryland, and to make live theatre affordable and available to as many members of the surrounding communities as possible.
