It celebrates the extraordinary life of the Jewish immigrant turned Hollywood star and an LGBTQ trailblazer of the Roaring Twenties.

"I read many of Alla Nazimova's journals in addition to years of research about her and I was continually struck by her unflappable insistence that she mattered, no matter what anyone said about her. This woman was fighting sexism, ageism, and homophobia - issues we still face today - alone and without a Twitter account. I hope her propensity to thrive against all odds will inspire audience members to help them live on their own terms,"
