ABOUT THE EVENT

Presented by

Monica Hoffman, actress

in the Community Education Room

Actress Monica Hoffman performs a one-woman show revealing the life and legacy of the world’s most celebrated female aviator, Amelia Earhart. Amelia recalls the events of her life from childhood through her final flight, and imparts her encouraging message for women of her time and today.

Monica Hoffman is a professional actress and historian. Having grown up with a father who is a pilot, she felt the lure of aviation from her earliest years. In fact, she can still remember her childhood experience of being seated in the cockpit of a small plane as her dad explained all the instruments and she got her first taste of the magnificent view from above. As an adult, the influence of flight ignited her own passion for discovering and portraying Amelia Earhart.

Monica has studied acting privately as well as at the prestigious Walnut Street Theater in Philadelphia. She has performed in local and regional theaters that include Bristol Riverside Theater, The Delaware Valley Regional Theater, and The Academy of Music. Her credits include commercials and independent film, including the 2010 documentary, “Breaking Through the Clouds: The First Women’s National Air Derby”.

This event is free and open to the public. Reservations are required on the Adult Events calendar at www.phoenixvillelibrary.org or by calling 610-933-3013, Ext. 132.
