Inside Emily Dickinson: Her Poetry & Her Life — A Live Theatrical Performance by Ginger Grace

April is National Poetry Month, 30 days of celebrating the joy, expressiveness, and pure delight of poetry. What better way to celebrate poetry than by honoring the legendary American poet Emily Dickinson? Join Wilton Library for this interactive production of “Inside Emily Dickinson: Her Poetry & Her Life,” created and performed by Ginger Grace.

Dickinson takes viewers on a delirious romp through her life and times. Wit, wonder and wisdom are the order of the day. The audience finds itself in the midst of life changing events and relationships as Dickinson defies the conventions of her time – and creates poetry for the ages. On occasion, she steps out of the play, calls out to the audience for words and ideas, weaves those into the fabric of the piece – and now, the possibilities with words are limitless!

“Animated – informal and personal – you made me love Emily Dickinson.”

Grace’s acting credits include the national tour of The Presidents (opposite Rich Little). Off-Broadway: The Glass Menagerie; Miss Julie; Faust; and Electra. Regional: Eleanor Roosevelt: Her Secret Journey; The First Ladies Coalition (written and performed by Grace); The Belle of Amherst; and Inside Emily Dickinson: Her Poetry & Her Life (written and performed by Grace); Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf; and Doubt. Film: Wedding March by Deborah Savadge; Chris Shomojima’s 6-Minute Mom; and The Trouble with Tuesdays by Martine Sainvil.

Grace has worked with the CASA Program, helping inner-city school children create their own shows, and she thrives on bringing out the voices of children in the theater.
