Some of America's most fearless women get the spotlight in this new musical for Young Audiences based on the best-selling children's book.
She Persisted, The Musical is the trailblazing piece of theatre based on the best-selling children's book written by Chelsea Clinton and beautifully illustrated by Alexandra Boiger.
Fourth-grader Naomi's field trip to a Women's History Museum turns into a time travel adventure where she encounters inspirational women who have overcome barriers and made waves throughout U.S. history. From activists to athletes, artists, and more, it's a perfect, 90 minute musical for the whole family — grandma and grandpa too!
