This one-woman show features Ms. Faye's portrayal of Abigail Adams, the first Second Lady and second First Lady of the United States, who is sometimes considered a founding mother of the country alongside Mercy Otis Warren.  Abigail's is one of the most documented of the first ladies' lives.  She is well remembered for the many letters she wrote to her husband, John, while he served as a delegate representing Massachusetts to the First and Second Continental Congresses in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  These letters serve as an eyewitness account of the American Revolutionary War home front.  Abigail also corresponded with Mercy Otis Warren, revealing important aspects of their lives and the times.

Sheryl Faye attended Emerson College, where she received a BFA in acting.  She is currently touring eleven one-woman shows throughout the country, performing for a variety of audiences.  She has received numerous awards for her work on stage and in film.
