Just days after the close of World War II, Bess Myerson, the daughter of poor Russian immigrants living in the Bronx, is competing in the Miss America pageant. Beauty is a peripheral quality in the world of this nearly six-foot tall, musically talented young woman, but at stake is a prize that she believes could change her life: a $5,000 scholarship. As the audience awaits word of the winner, the tension and excitement in Atlantic City’s Warner Theatre are palpable, especially for traumatized Jews rooting for one of their own.
So begins BESSIE. Join us for this special presentation from author, Linda Kass.
