This Semester's Theme: “Unheard Voices in Women’s Theatre”

We have chosen our theme for the Fall Semester meeting/ readings. This semester's theme is “Unheard Voices in Women’s Theatre” , and we will focus on understudied or otherwise marginalized women’s theatre from different geographical regions.
Our schedule of meetings and topics for the Fall Semester has also been finalized.
The meeting dates and readings are posted below. Each meeting will take place from 11:30-12:30 in UC 282, and all the readings are available in the Feminist Reading Group folder in Leanne’s office (UC 180). We hope you can make it out!
