Apalachicola Center for History, Culture & Art is proud to present A Woman By Design, a play about Mary Colter in Apalachicola Friday, March 23 at 7pm with an encore presentation Saturday, March 24 at 7pm in the upstairs gallery. Featured in the title role is Elizabeth Ware, a professional actress well known for her solo performances. Ms Ware and her husband, David Edgecombe, conceived, wrote and produced this 70-minute one-act play as a sabbatical project from the University of Alaska Anchorage. Ware and Edgecombe have worked in Alaska theater for more than twenty years.
As the chief architect and designer for the Fred Harvey Company, Mary Elizabeth Jane Colter was responsible for La Posada and most of the buildings that dot the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Her work is now viewed as pivotal in the development of Southwestern architectural design. The production features slides of her major works and gives insight into a turbulent artistic life.
The production suggests a $20 donation and will only be shown twice. There is limited seating, reserved seating is available.
