Visionary Voices: 2 Women Writers …3 Big Stories is a production of 3 one act plays by Susan Glaspell and Marita Bonner. It will play Wednesday – Sunday @ 8:00 PM from February 15 – March 5.

In its excellent review of this production, Broadway World says:

Three one-act plays come together to explore themes of gender, race and the acknowledgement of truth versus that which society believes or dictates it to be. Whether “society” is three men who are amused by female trifles, an exasperated lover who tries to shield his woman from the dangers to be found within and without or a newspaper meant to bring forward the troubles of its people, Visionary Voices brings together a perfectly quilted collection of one acts that will without doubt leave you riveted, even smitten, by all that a good performance can do.

Directed by Aimee Todoroff and Tonya Pinkins, and now in performances at the Gloria Maddox Theatre, Visionary Voices begins with Susan Glaspell‘s Trifles, followed by Marita Bonner’s Exit: An Illusion and ending with Glaspell’s The People – three wonderful plays that are more engaging and poignant in their single acts than many full length shows ever have the opportunity of being. All three take place at the start of the twentieth century, craftily combining themes as relevant today as they were then – collaborating with suspenseful plots, troubled characters and questionable motives that, when put together in the specific order of their performance, show just how clever Todoroff and Pinkins are.
