Wiggins Place Tenants enjoy many activities every day including lectures, seminars and Menorah Park's fabulous Scholar on Campus program.  Today was no exception as we welcomed Jessica Michna, Founder of First Impressions to Wiggins Place.

Ms. Michna expertly crafts authentic characters through historic research, costume design and scripting.  Today she brought to life the "First Lady of the World" Eleanor Roosevelt.

Through her characterization and performance Mrs. Roosevelt shared the tragedies, triumphs and life experiences that strengthened and helped her to emerge as a champion of civil rights, author and a stateswoman.

We look forward to welcoming Ms. Michna back to the Menorah Park Campus in the future as her program was a real success.
