Cynthia - The Meaning of the Name

Performing as Gene Stratton-Porter

Cynthia trained to give a first person performance and the character she chose was her favorite nature author, Gene Stratton-Porter. She displays an old-fashioned box camera such as the author would have used in the early part of the 20th century and uses other items like a bird's nest in her program.

This has been popular for senior audiences and at libraries and nature sites.
