Starting March 13th, Elm Street Cultural Arts Village presents the Georgia Premiere of Helvetica, a new work written by K. Willow Coleman, in which children’s book author Helvetica is introduced three different times in her life and how her experiences weave together to tell her story.
Helvetica Burke was one of the most famous and respected children’s authors in the world. Her books had captivated millions, but the life she led wasn’t quite a storybook affair. Through the eyes of her beloved stuffed bear, Myron, we see the three women she was – the past, present, and future of the person no one knew.
