MCHS presents Gertrude – A One Play written by Randal J. Forster and staring Penny Kinney as Gertrude Ellis Skinner, a true Mower County pioneer.
Gertrude Ellis Skinner, honored as a “Pillar of the City” in 2019, was a trailblazer. She was not a woman who waited around for anyone to give her an opportunity, but instead made her own way in the world seeking knowledge as a true educator and sharing her talents with many.
The story is told by Gertrude and is based on many of her original writings from the Austin Daily Herald and other publications. The production will also incorporate LIVE music performed by Wendy Larson and Lee Bjorndal, giving the show a bit of old time charm.
