Written by Doris BaizleyDirected by Ron PelusoStarring Claudia Wilkens, and students from the St. Paul Conservatory for Performing Artists Sister Elizabeth Kenny, the Australian-born nurse, is remembered as a life-saver by thousands of Minnesota families who faced the crippling disease of polio during the epidemic of the 1950s. From the day she set foot in America in 1940 she was determined to shake up the medical establishment and "make them" hear her calls for change. Had it not been for Sister Kenny's one-woman revolution, her groundbreaking therapies could not have helped thousands of polio victims or paved the way for modern techniques of rehabilitation and physical therapy.Ticket Price: Adults: $25-30 / Seniors: $22-28 / Students: $15 / Children: $10
