I Am Betty

Betty Crocker has helped shape America's homes and appetites for over a century.Surprising to many, she was not a real person! As a radio and television personality, a letter-writing confidante, and a relatable icon, "Betty" has been a subject of both admiration and scorn as multiple generations have grappled with questions of women's role in American society. You'll catch yourself humming the memorable music from this world-premiere production and be inspired to go home to bake something new!
