A staged reading festival featuring new plays by local playwrights Rachel Bublitz, Claire Rice, and Tracy Held Potter about historically significant, but lesser known women. These are women who have transcended the stereotype of what it means to be a ‘lady’. They are real people, women who have left their mark on history, through their contributions to the arts, sciences, politics, war, civil rights, and beyond. Their stories are not intended as museum pieces or propaganda, but as explorations of heartbreak and celebration, determination and failure, redemption and sacrifice. These women were not perfect, but were human beings with flaws, struggles, and strengths that deserve to be better known, and stories that deserve to be heard.
