Exactly like an experiment,” wrote Eve in her diary, according to Mark Twain in his humous account of the “first woman.” She also wrote about the first time she met Adam, how she named the animals, her quest for an education, and other events in Eden. Combining “Eve’s Diary,” along with his more serious essays, “Extract from Eve’s Diary,” and “Papers of the Adam’s Family,” Gayle Stahlhuth created her own solo “Eve’s Diary,” that’s she’s performed as part of one-woman festivals in New York City and elsewhere, as well as for special events, like the annual Quilting Festival in Paducah, Kentucky.
Gayle Stahlhuth has performed off-Broadway (Manhattan Theatre Club, etc.) in national tours (Cabaret, Fiddler, etc.), regional theater (Gateway Playhouse in Long Island, etc.), television (various soaps, etc.), radio (jingles and Voice of America), and on the Chautauqua Circuit. As Producing Artistic Director of East Lynne Theater Company from 1999 - 2023, along with her husband, Lee O'Connor, the Technical Director from 1999 - 2021, she produced 120 shows, including 22 world premieres and 12 NJ premieres, and directed most of them. Her adaptations for ELTC include Tales by Twain, that also ran at Surflight Theatre; Spoon River, based on the famous Anthology by Edgar Lee Masters, and The Ransom of Red Chief based on O. Henry's classic tale. Excellent reviews for her work as a director and performer at ELTC appeared in "The New York Times," "The Philadelphia Inquirer," and other publications in print and online, as well as PBS TV Station WHYY.
She is also founder of Classic American Tales, a company for presenting story readings and plays about the human condition that have stood the test of time, as well as new works that relate to the many facets of what it means to be “American.”. Learn more here: http://www.classicamericantales.org/
