Head to the Northwoods with The Root Beer Lady

The story reflects the beauty and hardships of Dorothy Molter’s solitary, yet satisfying life, in the Boundary Waters. The play, funny and passionate, explores her independence, fortitude, love of nature and pushes back against the premise that her time in the North Woods made her the “Loneliest Woman in America,” as the Saturday Evening Post claimed in 1952.
