Jerusha Abbott is the “Oldest Orphan in the John Grier Home” until a mysterious benefactor decides to send her to college to be educated as a writer. Required to write him a letter once a month, she is never to know the benefactor’s identity – so she invents one for him: Daddy Long Legs. Although she knows that he will never respond to her letters, she grows more and more fond of this elusive and kindly “old” gentleman. Meanwhile, Jerusha forms a connection with Jervis Pendleton, the wealthy uncle of her roommate, who introduces her to new opportunities and adventures. Through her correspondence with Daddy Long Legs and her growing intimacy with Jervis, Jerusha’s letters chronicle her emergence as a delightfully independent “New American Woman.” Yet, there is one startling fact that Jerusha has yet to uncover – a fact that will change her life forever.

Starring Lindsey Grojean as JERUSHA ABOTT and Aaron Fischer as JERVIS PENTLETON. Produced and directed by Sara Rae Womack with music direction by Landon Schnurbusch and assistant direction by Michelle Sauer.
