The root beer lady

Produced and coordinated by Bourgoin Productions, and sponsored by Friends of the Boundary Waters and the Dorothy Molter Museum, TLC is proud to co-present the solo performance, The Root Beer Lady.

Writer and performer Kim Schultz learned about Dorothy's story while in residence at TLC. The Root Beer Lady tells story of the indomitable Dorothy Molter, the last legal non-indigenous resident of the Boundary Waters. Join us at the theater for this dramatic, funny and nostalgic female-driven solo performance. 

Stick around after the performance for a special Q&A to learn more about the making of The Root Beer Lady and the woman who inspired it.

Tickets $15
