After the success of What I Meant to Say: A Dorothy Rosby Evening, the talented ladies of the Well Done Players bring to the stage Dorothy's latest collection of humorous essays. Alexa's a Spy (and Other Things to be Ticked Off About) is part comical call to arms and part tongue-in-cheek tirade. It’s a good-natured rant about what brings us down during the day and keeps us up through the night. Too much stuff, too much noise, too much technology. Not enough patience, not enough kindness, not enough…chocolate?

She has mainly performed in musicals throughout college, Britton Community Theatre and Grand Forks Firehouse Theatre Company.

She loves being a part of the Well Done Players and is grateful for the opportunity to still enjoy being involved with theatre.​

She is delighted to be part of this group of friends and looks forward to continuing to expand her "Theater Repertoire" with them. Sharing stories, whether writing or telling them, along with going for walks, reading and sewing keeps her busy.

Letters of a Woman Homesteader
​October 15-17, 2021

Elinore Pruitt Stewart, a widow with a small daughter named Jerrine, forges a new life in 1909 by becoming a homesteader in Wyoming.  Elinore's life on the homestead is a surprising combination of hard work and self-made joy and leisure. Her letters provide a graphic window into American rural life at the turn of the previous century. In this adaptation, the personal reminiscences of the actresses are woven into the narrative created by Elinore’s letters.
