Playing Now – Revolt. She said. Revolt Again.

Through a series of arresting vignettes and a collection of contemporary characters, the play examines the language, behaviour and forces impacting women in the 21st century and asks, “What’s stopping us from doing something truly radical to effect change?” This play does not behave; it is experimental and bursts at the seams of conformity. It is recommended for mature audiences, as it contains explicit language and graphic subject matter. Directed by Stefanie Buxton and performed by the third year graduating students of the Professional Theatre Program.

Performance Dates:

• Thursday, Feb. 5 @ 7:30 PM
• Friday, Feb. 6 @ 7:30 PM
• Saturday, Feb. 7 @ 7:30 PM
• Matinee on Feb. 5 at 12:30 PM
