Set in the Alabama town of Bowden in 1880, Lillian Hellman’s play explores issues of race, gender, and family politics in the South shortly after the Civil War.  Period costumes were created by Paula Trimpey, assistant professor of theatre and fashion at Albright.

This performance, directed by Julia Matthews, Ph.D., chair of the theatre department, is part of a year-long celebration of “Women and the Arts” at Albright College. Albright’s Center for the Arts has chosen to focus this season – 90 years after women in America received full enfranchisement – on women and the arts to explore gender as both a potential limitation and source of inspiration in theatre, music, fashion and visual arts.

The Center for the Arts is located on the Albright College campus at 13th and Bern Streets, Reading, Pa. For more information or disabled assistance, please call 610-921-7526, or visit www.albright.edu/centerforthearts.
