SuCh will perform at Women in Jazz Night

DENVER, CO – The Athena Project, a non-profit organization serving Denver’s women artists, has put together another amazing Arts Festival this year. This weekend they are offering a world premiere play, The Ghosts of Us, a darkly humorous marital drama by Rebecca Gorman O’Neill, and an evening of female jazz artists, including SuCh, Annie Booth, and Boulder’s new a cappella group, Vox Libera.

The Athena Project Arts Festival runs through April 10, and it will also include readings of four plays in progress, an evening of dance, a specially curated art installation, and staged readings of ten new plays by 7th grade girls from their Girls Write program. In addition women will perform improv, spoken word, poetry, comedy, fashion and more in Pop Up Performances taking place at various light rail stations in Denver.

In this year’s festival premiere, Rebecca Gorman’s The Ghosts of Us, Emma and Jackson are getting a divorce.  To fulfill the terms of an ill-conceived prenuptial agreement, they must spend 36 hours together in a cabin in the Rocky Mountains.  Each brings along a “witness:” As alliances shift, old grudges and long-held secrets emerge, until each member of the group is laid metaphorically bare before the others, revealing who is whole and who is broken, who holds the moral high ground, and who actually de-railed long ago.  The Ghosts of Us is inspired by the darkly humorous plays of Anton Chekhov.

The Athena Project Arts Festival runs during the month of March each year and includes a world premiere play, the Plays In Progress Series, a Girls Write performance, visual art, dance, music and fashion.  For more detailed information, please visit the Athena Project Arts Festival website>>
