The Root Beer Lady

Written & Performed by Kim Schultz

Directed by Addie-Gorlin Han at the History Theatre

Assistant Direction: Jess Yates

1986. The story of the indomitable Dorothy Molter, the last legal non-indigenous resident of the Boundary Waters. The story reflects the beauty and hardships of Molter’s solitary yet satisfying life beginning in 1934. The play, funny and passionate, explores her independence, fortitude, and love of nature. and pushes back against the premise that her time in the North Woods made her the “Loneliest Woman in America,” as the Saturday Evening Post claimed in 1952.  Dorothy Molter’s story will delight all, young and old.
