History with Hilary - February 4

On February 4, 1938, Thornton Wilder's three-act play "Our Town" premiered at Henry Miller's Theatre in New York City.

I was in this play in 10th grade (I think?) at my high school in New Hampshire. I played Mrs. Gibbs - the mother of George Gibbs. (In this photo I am George Gibbs and Emily Webb.)

I crammed this ladder into my kitchen next to my refrigerator and hung black fabric on the wall behind me.

If you're not familiar with the play and want to know more about it, check this out:

What is History With Hilary?
Every day, I take a self-portrait based on that day in history! The plan is to eventually make a book and/or calendar!

Select prints from my History With Hilary are for sale. Proceeds help to support the project, which is getting a little pricey! View them at Etsy!

I'm also accepting donations, including costumes, wigs, fabric, and props! Please email me at historywithhilary@gmail.com.
