All of Anne Pasquale's historical characters were real women who lived real lives. For adult audiences, all of their complexities, contradictions, and compromises are brought to life for examination and discussion.

Anne's Adult History Programs were most recently featured at the Greenville, South Carolina (https://historycomesalive.org/) and High Plains Colorado (https://www.highplainschautauqua.org/) chautauquas.

These programs take the following format:

• a 40 minute presentation in character
• a 10-20 minute Q&A with the audience wherein the performer answers questions in character
• a 10-20 minute Q&A with the audience wherein the performer answers questions as themselves

Review of Nellie Bly after an appearance at The New Hampshire Humanities Council Chautauqua event:

"It's always great fun to see a new character emerge on the Chautauqua stage but Anne's portrayal of Nellie Bly was especially rewarding; she and Nellie provided a most informative presentation and graced the stage with wit and charm. I'd highly reccommend Ms. Pasquale - a.k.a Nellie Bly - to any and all Chautauqua presenters."
