The Bechdel Group's Fall Play Workshop

September 25th at 6:30PM

Join The Bechdel Group for an evening of reading 30 minute sections of two separate plays and join in the discussion that follows. The two shows we are visiting this month are:

Adina Aaron's Lilith

"Lilith tells the Biblical story of Adam and Eve with a twist - before Eve, there was another woman, Lilith. Drawing on ancient Jewish and Mesopotamian mythologies, Lilith weaves a tale of three primordial figures in a new and strange place, discovering what gender, power, and divinity mean for them and all of humanity."

Jen Diamond's Pageant Play

"Each year, Derby, Nevada (population 3,529) hosts the Derby Dolls Pageant to commemorate the sacrifices the town's foremothers made when they resorted to cannibalism in order to survive a snowstorm. In this laugh out loud, break your heart comedy about teetering on the brink of womanhood, four pageant girls compete to win the Derby Dolls crown, only to discover that there are more ways to be a woman than they ever realized."

CW: sex, canibalism, pageantry.

*Please note that this performance will be presented at the Tank's in-person performance space at 312 W 36th St. All attendees and artists will be required to display proof of two doses of an approved covid vaccination before being admitted to the space. Patrons will also be required to wear masks while indoors at all times.
