Join Speranza Theatre Company for the FINAL THREE performances of VOTES FOR WOMEN, a one-act play written by Jennie Contuzzi in Hudson County Parks. Performances are September 23-25, 2020 at 6:00 PM. All performances are free and open to the public with a runtime of 45-minutes, no intermission. Locations around Hudson County include: Lincoln Park, Columbus Park, West Hudson Park.
It’s 1913, and, thousands of women gather in Washington, D.C.. They are there to call for a constitutional amendment guaranteeing women the right to vote. While the fight for suffrage has been going on for 60 years, this huge parade, spearheaded by Alice Paul and the National American Woman Suffrage Association, marks the first major national event for the movement. For a family audience of all ages, this emotional story is told from the perspective of the women who led the charge, and paved the way for the fight for equality.
