| A Visit with Isabella Stewart Gardner: America’s First Patroness of the Arts |
| Character Reenactor Jessa Piaia will present a dramatic portrayal of Isabella Stewart Gardner (1840 – 1924). The drama is set in 1910, seven years after the opening of Fenway Court, the house-museum designed and built by Mrs. Gardner for her extensive art collection. |
| Jessa Piaia uses drama to reveal the accomplishments, struggles and contributions of Women to American History. Ms. Piaia studied performance at London’s Oval House Theatre. Research for this program was conducted at the archives of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum; Historic New England; The Boston Public Library, et al. |
