Each minute is golden as actress Kandis Chappell and playwright Mark St. Germain bring to life the iconic. Eleanor with wit, drama, sympathy, passion, and intelligence.

- From Another Zero
Actor Kandis Chappell is a one-woman tour de force. Director David Ellenstein has done an amazing job with this impressive show. Chappell’s emotions run the entire gamut of the human experience. She is funny, witty, devastated, lonely, brave, and committed. The actor’s timing, voice and entire bearing recall her character, and while Chappell is significantly more feminine than Mrs. Roosevelt, one nearly does a double take.
