DRAMA COMMITTEE: "19" A Staged Reading Workshop

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

$20 per person (reception & performance)

A STAGED READING WORKSHOP OF THE NEW MUSICAL "19"

Performed by Through The 4th Wall (TT4W) in collaboration with the Arts Club Drama Committee and FABUM

19, written and directed by Jennifer Schwed and Doug Bradshaw, with music composed by Charlie Barnett, is the dynamic, inspiring and little known real history of Alice Paul, the Suffragists and their fight to get women the right to vote—The 19th Amendment. The 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th is coming up in 2020. Much as they did one hundred years ago, women today have had enough, and they are starting a new revolution. With each passing news cycle, the topics addressed in 19 seem to be more and more relevant.

As a musical, 19 brings the struggle for equality to life through jazz, spoken word and stirring emotional conflict. More info about 19 can be found at throughthe4thwall.com

Witness the creative process and be a part of something truly extraordinary! This is a “staged reading” workshop, the newly revised Act I, including all 19 songs with piano accompaniment, will be presented! Don't miss this unique opportunity to see how "the musical sausage is made."There will also be a Q&A with the creators after the performance!

A networking reception with hors d'oeuvres and open bar will precede the performance. A Q&A with the creators will follow the performance.
