This is a one woman multimedia show about the lady who built Boston's famous Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.

The year is 1903, and Mrs. Isabella Stewart Gardner is holding a party on the first evening of the New Year to celebrate the opening of her house, Fenway Court. To tell the story of the remarkable woman who built Boston's most endearing art-filled Italian palazzo, the play moves back and forth in time.

Emerging from the loss of her little son, Jackie, Mrs. Gardner establishes herself as a social maverick and then becomes muse to many artists of her day.
