Quinn-tessential Performances
 Luminous and Literate One Woman Performances Designed for Easy Touring and Presenting Featuring Quinn Hawkesworth  FAIR AND TENDER LADIES adapted from the novel by Lee Smith Adapted from Lee Smith's novel, this play weaves the poignant story of Ivy Rowe, an Appalachian woman who hurls herself headlong into life. Ivy's tale begins when she is 12, hungering to be a writer. Treasuring the mountain songs and stories she was raised on, she sees her dreams eroded by demands of family and survival. But at the end of her life we see her urge to create has never really left her. "I was young then, and I walked in my body like a queen."  MISTRESS OF THE MOORS: CHARLOTTE BRONTE The story of her tragedies and triumphs is even more sensational than her novel, Jane Eyre. At the lonely, windswept parsonage of Haworth on the Yorkshire moors, we meet Charlotte and her famous family. She reveals the passionate intelligence and integrity that drove her, and the surprise of a love affair in the autumn of her life. Her sister Emily's words might well be describing her: "No coward soul is mine..." THE BELLE OF AMHERST Emily Dickinson: She is America's most mysterious writer, a poet who eluded many schemes to catch a glimpse of her--until now. This portrait, her "letter to the world", reveals a woman far different from the popular image of a repressed New England spinster. Along the way are generous helpings of her poetry and wickedly funny flashes of her wit. Quintessential Dramatic Readings
