Description
Kathryn Blume (actor), Mary Beth McNulty (writer) and Sandra Dooley (producer) give a preview of The Suffragist Reenactment Society.
The Vermont Suffrage Centennial Alliance (VSCA) presents the inaugural production of The Suffragist Reenactment Society in ten venues across the state.
Covering the period 1848-1920, the play is a fast-paced journey through the history of how women fought for and won the right to vote in the United States. The three dynamic stars of VSCA’s production are Vermont’s own Kathryn Blume of Charlotte (The Roommate, Three Days of Rain, The Seagull), Sarah Mell of Winooski (Popcorn Falls, Taming of the Shrew, “Blackberry Winter,”) and Julia Sioss of Colchester (Sense and Sensibility, The Wolves, A Midsummer Night’s Dream.)
Blume, Mell, and Sioss embody the determination of suffragists from Susan B. Anthony to Ida B. Wells while addressing the complex interplay of race and gender in the suffrage movement and its continuing impact today. Full of facts, fun, and historical figures, the play asks audiences to consider the stories we hear and, more importantly, those we don’t, when we teach and learn about the history of social movements. The Suffragist Reenactment Society is written by Mary Beth McNulty and directed by Laura Roald.
The Suffrage Reenactment Society is proudly presented by VSCA as part of its mission to commemorate the centennial of women winning the vote via the 19th Amendment.
