There was a time when women had no rights. This is the story of how women got their rights in America, told by the women who were there. We Did It For You! (by ICWP member Thea Iberall) is an eye-opening musical, fun and educational. "There is a sense of wonderment, gratitude and deep humility awaiting the audiences of 'We Did it For You'." - Paul Williams, Grammy and Academy Award winning songwriter. Performance will be at the YWCA, 2019 14th Street, Santa Monica. Sponsored by AAUW-CA as part of Women's History Month.

The plays are THE FLAMINGO RED TEA ROOM (which I adapted from a very short play by Thornton Wilder) and LIES (a comedy about a married couple who are lying to each other).

The musical play “Not Without Our Women,” by ICWP member Patricia Milton, in collaboration with Andrew Black and composer Caroline Altman, tells the story of a critical episode in the development of rights for women. In the mid 1800s, the radical notion that a woman might vote, hold public office, or own her own property as an unmarried individual was unthinkable. This new musical, based upon real people and events, explores what happened when the territory of Wyoming instituted woman suffrage, attracting independent women to the wild frontier.

Come to a free concert reading of “Not Without Our Women” March 12 or 13, 2012, at Thick House in Portrero Hill, San Francisco. It’s co-produced by 3 Girls Theatre Company.

"The play is one of the most entertaining and interesting re-enactments of the history of women I have seen to date.

This Truth is Clear and Evident by playwright Mahasin D. Shamsid-Deen opens March 3, 2012 at the historic Robinson Theater at 2903 Q Street in Richmond, Virginia.  There is a 2pm matinee and 8pm evening performance.  Tickets are $10.

This play is a modern take on traditional Islamic theater in that it is performed all in poetry.  It tells the story about the struggle and faith of Muslims in the Americas - North & South.  The all Male cast shares the story of how they - the Muslim they represent - developed and defined their Islamic identify and belief.  The poems deal with faith, love, renewal and submission as well as resistence, divisiveness and a search for a understanding of truth.  The poetic reflections are shared in English, Spanish, Arabic and Urdu as the audience is drawn into 'their' world and not only what they say, but how they say it. It is ultimately a story of understanding Man's desire to realize his place as the best of God's creation.  This Truth is part of the 2012 Acts of Faith Festival in Richmond, Virginia (www.theactsoffaith.org)
