Marj Conn is CORA CRANE, live at the Crane House

She was a businesswoman, a war correspondent, an adventurer, a socialite, a scandal queen, an author, a “madam” — and, if anyone asked, the common-law “wife” of Stephen Crane. On the afternoon of Saturday, March 28, CORA CRANE lives again, in the premiere performance of a one-woman show written and performed by Marjorie Conn. The actor-playwright returns to the Crane House with a special reading for Women’s History Month, illuminating the life, times, and hidden history of this vividly irrepressible and “unsinkable” woman of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Doors open at 2:30 pm for the 3 pm presentation; a $10 donation is suggested, and light refreshments will be served.
