Women in History Presents

Mae West

Women in History presents a powerful portrayal of Mae West, one of the boldest and most influential entertainers of the early 20th century.

Experience history through a first-person portrayal of Mae West by Women in History. Mae West built an extraordinary career that spanned the stage, film, radio, and television. Determined to maintain creative control over her distinctive voice and comedic style, she often wrote her own scripts, earning acclaim for her razor-sharp wit, confident sexuality, and unforgettable one-liners that challenged social conventions and censorship.

This entertaining presentation, featuring live music and engaging stories, traces Mae's remarkable journey from her controversial early theatrical productions to her pivotal role in helping save Paramount Pictures from bankruptcy and explores the unforgettable moments that defined her colorful life and enduring legacy.
