ABOUT

Inspired by the Nichols House Museum in Boston, Guerilla Opera’s latest world premiere film brings to light the efforts and passions of Rose Standish Nichols, a true-life Bostonian woman who was a women’s peace and suffrage movement activist, professional landscape architect, and published author.

Performances are sung in English and are approximately 40 min in duration. There will be a talk back with the artists directly following the live screening. The theater is ADA Accessible.
