The Pike County Historical Society and American Readers Theatre are proud to announce the newest addition to their living history series of short plays.

Cornelia in Confidence is slated to be performed at the Columns Museum on July 16th at 2pm in the museum's Foundation Room. The multi-talented Patricia Durante will take on the role of Cornelia Pinchot, the outspoken and at times controversial wife of Governor Gifford Pinchot.

The play depicts Cornelia in her later years when she resided in Washington DC and hosted a radio show.  Cornelia will talk about many things, both political and personal, giving the audience a look into the fascinating life of "the lady in red".

This production marks the fourth collaboration of A.R.T. and P.C.H.S., all graciously funded through the Greater Pike Community Foundation and performed each year.  Last year's production Milton Bailey; Letters Home was presented to a standing room only crowd in The Foundation Room of the Museum.  We at P.C.H.S. hope for the same response this year, so we have added an additional date. 

The performance is open to all and free of cost. 

Cornelia in Confidence was written by Lori Strelecki and will be Directed by Jeffrey Stocker. Funding for the project was provided by The Greater Pike Community Foundation.
