Tel Hai Retirement Community invites the public to a life enrichment lecture entitled “Fragile Freedoms” featuring The Hopewell Furnace National Historic Sites’ Christine Emmert on Friday, May 1 at 7 p.m. in the community’s chapel located off Beaver Dam Road in Honey Brook Township. Admission to the event is free and open to the public.
Emmert, a local playwright/director and actress with a keen interest in women’s issues, will take attendees on a journey from 1776 to today with the company of Sojourner Truth, Mark Twain, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and others.
Emmert holds a Masters in Humanities. Her belief in the arts as the transformer of lives goes deep. The piece she adapted with Katherine Mallon-Day, “The Yellow Wallpaper” was performed to enthusiastic audiences at the Philadelphia Fringe in 2014.
