About this event
In homage to the original Ladies' Reading Room that was founded as a haven for women's opinions, the Ladies' Reading Room evenings are held on the first Tuesday of each month from April-November 2021.
Each month features a theme that was relevant to the struggle for women's rights in both 1921 and 2021. For our October evening, the theme is Women & Legacy.
The event will happen live and free of admission charge for registered guests, who may register to attend on a first-come, first served basis. Parking is also free. Doors will open at 6:30pm, with the event getting underway at 7pm.
The evening begins in 1921 with an excerpt of THE MIRROR by Trudy Morgan-Cole, which is inspired by this Ladies' Reading Room theme. This excerpt is directed by Jenn Deon, featuring Alison Woolridge & Bridget Wareham with costume design by Alison Helmer.
We conclude in 2021 with a live panel discussion on the evening's theme, moderated by the playwright Trudy Morgan-Cole. Guest speakers include Dr. Margot Duley, Dr. Vicki Hallett and Sheilagh Ethne O'Leary.
Tea will served in both period-appropriate and environmentally-sustainable china cups to all.
