Learn about the making of the musical about Dorothy Moulter using slides and live music to explain the creative process and how writer Barbara Cary Hall achieved her end result about Dorothy, the local legend.

Barb Cary Hall, daughter of Bob Cary and long-time Dorothy Molter Museum board member, penned an original musical production based on the famous Bob Cary book, The Root Beer Lady.

Many people’s first introduction to the story of Dorothy Molter was through Bob Cary’s book and this past summer, Dorothy’s story reached new audiences through the musical performance.

The Dorothy Molter Museum has been active in assisting Barb  through her endeavor and are pleased that there will be another vehicle with which to move Dorothy’s story toward new audiences

Join us for a “toe-tappin’” musical look at the life of Dorothy Molter.
