Creative Greensboro Presents Teen Production Of “The Remarkable Susan”

Press release from the City of Greensboro:

Post Date:09/10/2020 9:00 AM

Creative Greensboro will present a teen production of “The Remarkable Susan” by Tim Kelly October 24 and 25. To be a part of the production, teens 13-17 should register at www.creativegreensboro.com by September 18. Auditions will be held after registration is closed. All participants will have a role in the production; roles are available for men and women. It is free to participate and perusal scripts are available upon request.

The play portrays the 1873 trial of Susan B. Anthony, who was arrested for voting. The script is based on actual court transcripts from the trial. It is especially timely, as 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of women having the vote.

Rehearsals will be in-person and will follow all COVID-19 safety protocols, including daily symptom checks. Rehearsals will typically occur from 4-6 pm three or four times a week. A final schedule will be based on participants’ availability. The advantage of doing a play set in a courtroom is there is minimal physical interaction between characters and the stories are compelling.

Creative Greensboro will also present another courtroom play, the comedy “Goldilocks on Trial,” for ages 7-12 later this year.
