About the Event: Chautauqua Performance of Calamity Jane. Brought to you by SB 118. Free Event. Just show up - RSVP not required.
Perhaps no woman embodies the spirit of the Western expansion more than Martha Cannary better known as “Calamity Jane”. She challenged society’s standards of behavior for women, and at the same time was admired for her generosity, honesty and lack of pretentiousness. Kim Harris is an accomplished Chautauquan with over 15 years’ experience, having presented local and national historical characters, from California to Bronxville, NY. She is the owner of Western History ALIVE! where she presents the lives of many famous and infamous historical figures. Harris will bring to life the real Calamity Jane, with dignity and respect. Calamity Jane was not only a genuine “dime novel heroine”, she was a real living human being, with dreams sometimes realized and sometimes lost.
