Join historic re-enactor Lynn Rymarz at the History Center for a private, bistro-style experience hosted by Zelda Fitzgerald, the wife of F. Scott Fitzgerald, author of such bestselling novels as This Side of Paradise and The Great Gatsby. Learn about their love story, how they rubbed shoulders with the rich and famous, how Zelda became a writer and painter in her own right, and then how their beautiful world began to fall apart.
This historic re-enactment experience will include 1920s hors d’oeurves, signature cocktails & mocktails, wine, and champagne all in a bistro-style setting. 30 minutes to socialize will precede the 6:30 PM start of the performance. Registration is required and seating is limited to a first-come, first-serve basis.

Lynn’s performances, told in the first person, have included Mary Lincoln, Martha Washington, Susan B. Anthony, Mary Surratt, Nellie Bly, and The Unsinkable Margaret Brown, and have been featured in children’s magazines Cricket and Highlights.
