1932: Lorena Hickok, hot-shot reporter for the Associated Press, is assigned to interview Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of New York State’s Governor and Presidential candidate. Hick wants to be covering wars, crime and corruption. The shy, reluctant Eleanor wants to be left alone. This awkward interview changes the lives of both women.

1962: Ray Corry, an ambitious, young curator at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Museum, pressures the ill and aged Hick to donate her 30 years of letters, the intimate correspondence of two remarkable women. Corry is shaken by the content he discovers - the passion and complexity of the Eleanor/Hick relationship and the impact the letters have on his own life.

Based on ELEANOR & HICK, words & music by Tom Wilson Weinberg,

book by Peggy Stafford, original direction by Darren Katz
