Character reenactor Jessa Piaia will present a dramatic portrayal of Isabella Stewart Gardner (1840-1924) in “A Visit with Isabella Stewart Gardner: America’s First Patroness of the Arts”. The drama is set in 1910, seven years after the opening of Fenway Court, which Mrs. Gardner designed and built for her extensive art collection, and willed to the City of Boston upon her demise. Mrs. Gardner relates episodes about her luminous circle of family and friends, relives journeys to exotic lands, and shares other potentially scandalous encounters! Program is co-sponsored by Hopkinton’s Garden Club and the Historical Society. Performance is at the Hopkinton Historical Society’s building, 168 Hayden Rowe (Rt. 85); Hopkinton at 7pm on Tuesday October 18. Donations are welcome at the time of the performance to help defray the cost of the event.
