Library Theatre: “Someone Must Wash the Dishes: An Anti-Suffrage Satire”

Many women fought against getting the vote in the early 1900s, but none with more charm, prettier clothes—and less logic—than the fictional speaker in this satiric monologue written by pro-suffragist Marie Jenney Howe, back in 1912, Titled “An Anti-Suffrage Monologue,” it was published in 1913, by the National American Woman Suffrage Association (precursor of the League of Women Voters). This production was directed by Warren Kliewer and stars Michèle LaRue as Howe’s unlikely, but irresistibly likeable, heroine. 2:00 PM. No registration, doors open at 1:30 PM.
