all the rage

90 min: 7F

synopsis:

A chronicle of the Women's Suffrage Movement in the form of a pageant. Featuring figures of revolution, ruin, and rowdiness, the play explores anger -- its sources and outcomes, its ends and beginnings, and just where exactly are we supposed to put it down?

casting:

This cast is composed of 7 women.
This cast must be diverse.
This cast cannot be all white women. Full stop.

We see them put them on.
We see them take them off.
