The actors did a great job at embodying their characters and the time period. I was truly transported into the setting of a riveting (and very well told) story. With just one set, it can be difficult to show a bigger picture, but Wilhelmina proved it can be done....

Cheyenne Washington, in the titular role (AND playwright) graces the stage with damaged elegance, perfectly honest for Wilhelmina.
