Ruth Bader Ginsburg–“I Dissent”
A Joint Program with the Friends of the Holliston Public Library
Tuesday, January 30th from 7-8 PM
About 35 people attended this event. Using props, video, and audio in a multi-media show, Sheryl Faye became Ruth at various times in her life. One attendee told Sheryl that she had brought RBG to life in a touching and inspirational way. We hope to have Ms. Faye back to the HHS in another role in the future, but go see her elsewhere if you get a chance! Thank you to Sheila Adams for coordinating the refreshments and to the Friends of the Library for asking the HHS to co-sponsor this program.
In cooperation with the Friends of the Holliston Public Library, the Historical Society will present Sheryl Faye as Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Tuesday, January 30th at 7 pm. The performance will be at the Holliston Public Library. Please visit the library website at https://www.hollistonlibrary.org/ to reserve your spot (Go to calendar).
From the website SherylFaye.com: “Ruth Bader Ginsburg was an American lawyer and jurist who served as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1993 until her death in September 2020. She was the second woman and the first Jewish woman ever appointed to the Court and became the longest serving Jewish Justice. She championed fairness and equality and objected to different expectations for men and women, prejudice against minority groups in places like hotels and restaurants, and women having fewer job opportunities than men. Ruth served on the national board of the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) and launched The Women’s Rights Project, she continued to be a leading voice for gender equality, women’s interests, and civil rights and liberties. Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s life continues to be one of achievement: as a lawyer, professor of law, a judge, and then a Supreme Court justice, she stands out because she was not afraid to dissent, disapprove, and disagree with conditions of unfairness and inequality. This show is the inspiring story of how she changed her life—and ours.”
Ms. Faye is a local woman who works full-time as an actress, a goal she worked hard to achieve. She attended Emerson College in Boston where she received a BFA degree and has worked throughout the US. Currently, Ms. Faye works on films, television, and theater in the Boston and New York areas. If you visit her website, look closely at the publicity pictures; you may recognize some of the backdrops.
