The Belle of Amherst is a whimsical one-woman show based on the life of Emily Dickinson. Told in two acts, this play gives a voice to one of America's most enigmatic and eccentric poets. Drawing largely from Emily's poetry and letters, The Belle of Amherst is a breathing autobiography of a true nonconformist. For years, scholars thought that Emily Dickinson had some form of mental illness. This play gives Emily the chance to answer those scholars in person. Using a stream of conscious flow of poetry and musings, Emily Dickinson is brought to life before the very eyes of her audience. Pam Chabora has a kinship with Emily Dickinson. That’s why her performances of The Belle of Amherst have been so popular. Now, she’s taking the show on the road for a national tour in 2010. Pamela Chabora has a vibrant career in academic and professional theatre and is a master teacher. If you like good theatre and want to fully understand Emily Dickinson, Pam’s portrayal of the poet will entice you. Read more about Pam’s work, how to book a performance, and learn about Emily Dickinson. You won’t want to miss this! CONTACT: Dr. Pamela Chabora |
