Actress Sheryl Faye will perform her show “Amelia Earhart: Pioneer in Aviation” on Saturday, May 17 at 2 p.m. at the Case Memorial Library in Orange.
Since 2003, Sheryl Faye has brought to life important historical women who have shaped the world. In her one-woman shows, she immerses the audience in a multimedia learning experience.
Earhart’s love of the air “took flight” when she paid a pilot exactly $1 to take her up for a short “hop” in his plane. From that moment, the science of aviation became her passion, and flying became her career.
The presentation highlights the importance of family and respect for others – but it also emphasizes the importance of the individual.
The Friends of Case Memorial Library will host their annual business meeting at 1 p.m.; following the brief meeting, they will award the Lucy Scillia Scholarship. At 1:30 p.m., guests may enjoy refreshments before the show begins.
The event is free and open to the public, but registration is required. Register at casememoriallibrary.org or call 203-891-2170.
