Sisters of White Chapel: A Short But True Story by Annie Bartholomew is a Victorian folk opera inspired by narratives of women during the Klondike Gold Rush in Alaska and the Yukon. Written by Alaskan songwriter Annie Bartholomew, this performance piece marries historic source material and folk music traditions, to honor the brave women that risked life and virtue seeking freedom in the far north.

Sisters of White Chapel was developed in 2021 as a part of the Alaska Writers Workshop where it received a developmental reading in collaboration with the Brown University/Trinity Rep graduate acting program. Additionally, Theater Alaska produced a reading of Sisters of White Chapel as a part of the 2022 Alaska Theater Festival.

The Alaska Theater Festival is supported in part by the Juneau Arts and Humanities Council and the City and Borough of Juneau.
