- The Arts Club of Washington (map)
19, written and directed by Jennifer Schwed and Doug Bradshaw, with music composed by Charlie Barnett, is the dynamic and little-known story of Alice Paul, the suffragists and their fight to get women the right to vote— the 19th Amendment. The inspirational story of these fearless women is brought to life through jazz, spoken word, dance and audience interaction. June 9th at the Arts Club of Washington, the newly revised Act I, including all 19 original, new songs with piano accompaniment, will be presented! Don’t miss this unique opportunity to see how “the musical sausage is made.” Witness the creative process and be a part of something truly extraordinary! (This is a “staged reading” workshop. There will also be a Q&A with the creators after the performance!)
19 is A Through the 4th Wall Productions performance, proudly presented by FABUM.
For seating, please arrive 15 minutes early. There will be a full bar and light refreshments starting at 6:30pm.
Tickets: $20; Purchase HERE.
