Mary Jane Bradbury is an amazing amalgam of things — she is an actress, speaker, and educator who melds history and performance in her unique role as an historical interpreter. Mary Jane fully embodies the characters in her performances through costume, voice, and storytelling to bring these historical women to life for her audiences. Mary Jane joined up for two events at the Library — a workshop called "The Art of Storytelling" and her presentation titled "Kid Gloves and Brass Knuckles: The Life of Nancy Cooper Russell".

Much thanks to Humanities Montana for sponsoring this and the other events for our Thursday Night Speakers series as part of our Summer Reading Program. For information on these and other Library happenings, visit our website and follow us on social media.
