PASSING PARADES…OR THE CASE OF THE SOLE SURVIVING SUFFRAGIST

I’ve taken up the cause and am joining the League of Professional Theatre Women at Jefferson Market Library for a reading of Fengar Gael’s new play. You’ll find me in the lead role of Lydia/Lily, an idealistic young woman who undergoes a radical transformation after a bomb shatters the lives of marchers gathered to celebrate the centennial of women’s suffrage.

I am finding it very apt to be performing this piece at the Jefferson Market Library, the site of of the former Women’s House of Detention in Manhattan. I am thinking about the many women who were imprisoned there on the yet endless road to equality, and I am grateful.
