A One-Of-A-Kind Performance Experience:
​
This program educates and entertains while recognizing the struggle and sacrifices of the Women's Suffrage Movement's most important figures, taking the audience on a journey back in time into the lives of these brave American patriots.
Historical songs, image projections, authentic costuming, an engaging spoken narrative, and audience participation make this a performance experience unlike any other. ​This is not a typical recital!
​Program Highlights:​​
-
The role of ladies' fashions within the Movement and the strategies--and scandals--that ensued!
-
Songs that furthered the Women's Suffrage cause--whether or not this was their composers' original intention!
-
Frederick Douglass's vital role and contribution to Women's Suffrage at the official beginning of the Movement.
And much more!
