Centennial Talk with Eliza Jane Poitevent

Centennial Talk with Eliza Jane Poitevent, America’s first female publisher of a major newspaper, is an engaging, innovative and well-researched historical drama that breathes life into a forgotten pioneer of journalism. The use of an anachronistic talk show format allows the audience to meet Eliza Jane Poitevent Nicholson as she enters the space through the mist of the past and creates an immediate connection between Eliza Jane and a modern audience. This storyline allows historical events to be discussed in a conversational and dynamic way, rather than through a traditional linear biography.
