The Arrowhead Library System will present Barbara Cary Hall’s “The Making of Root Beer Lady – The Musical,” a free program being offered for ages 10 to adult on Monday, May 14, at 3:30 p.m. at the Grand Marais Public Library.
Hall explains her journey of creating the vision of a musical, the process involved and how it came to pass. Through slides, video and live music, you’ll experience the creative process and take a look at the life of Dorothy Molter, Ely’s own local legend.
Many people’s first introduction to the story of Dorothy Molter was through Bob Cary’s book, Root Beer Lady. This past summer, Dorothy’s story reached new audiences through Barb’s original musical production based on the book. The Dorothy Molter Museum has been active in assisting Barb through her endeavor and now there is another vehicle with which to move Dorothy’s story toward new audiences.
This program is funded through Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
