About the event
Onstage Repertory Theatre Presents:
Florence Nightingale: The Reluctant Celebrity
Welcome to the world of Victorian England, where women were considered possessions and had no right to obtain higher education, own land, have a bank account, or vote.
Pushing back against the status quo, Nightingale was a visionary statistician and social reformer, researcher, author, adventurer, nurse, and population health advocate who, when she returned from the Crimean War (and for the next 50 years), used her celebrity status to influence health policy — on four continents — as a semi-invalid!
Join Miss Nightingale, as she shows you a new way to think about healthcare — from the way you thought it was, to the way it may become.
This character is portrayed by Dr. Candy Campbell. She provides a delightful presentation of thought-provoking, fun, and poignant exploration of our current state of health, based on Nightingale’s writings.
She’s witty, she’s wise, and audiences think she’s wonderful.
What’s more, Miss Nightingale has an important call to action for you!
Children ages 7 and up have thoroughly enjoyed this show.
