Maura O’Brien brings to life the legendary Annie Oakley in a new play, written by Jeanne Beckwith. In this entertaining solo show, playwright Beckwith cracks open the legend to reveal the real lady and her fascinating life. Full of humor, heart-break, sharp wits, and white-knuckled determination, Oakley sets the record straight. Defying death at least three times, this Little Sure Shot’s determination saw her through from the poor farm to dining with Queens and Kings and blazing her own path all the while. And she always shot with both eyes open.
LNT previously mounted the premier of Beckwith’s Love Letters Made Easy.
Maura O’Brien’s previous work with Lost Nation Theater includes Becoming Dr Ruth, Lost in Yonkers, Vagina Monologues and many more.
