Father and Daughter to Speak at Chautauqua

MOUNT VERNON – He was an American teacher, writer, philosopher, and reformer. She fictionalized her experience with the family in her novel “Little Women” in 1868. He is often criticized for his inability to earn a living and support his family. He was never financially secure until his daughter became a best-selling novelist. For Bronson and Louisa May Alcott, life in the mid-1800’s America was challenging and rewarding, and filled with many of the social ills of the times, slavery, poor immigrants, transcendentalism, social work and health issues.

On Thursday April 24 at 7 PM, Bronson [portrayed by Robert Bennett] and Louisa May Alcott [portrayed by Amy K. Stoner] will be the featured characters for the Chautauqua Series presented by Elixir and supported by Rolls-Royce Charities/Civic Fund and Ariel Foundation assistance.
