Cherie Weinert performs in this one-woman historical drama about Rosalie Calvert, who married into the Calvert family and became mistress of the Riversdale estate in the early nineteenth century.

It is particularly appropriate that the show will be performed in the Old Parish House, which was built as part of the Calvert estate in 1817 -- originally as a dairy barn.

This show was sold out at the Clarice Smith Center in 2006.
