Inez: The Suffrage Herald, at Bristol Valley Theater

“Mr. President, how long must women wait for liberty?” Direct from NYC's United Solo Fest, Melissa Jessel brings to life the passion and sacrifice of Inez Millholland, considered by some “the Joan of Arc” of the women's suffrage movement. This performance is part of BVT’s “Hear Me Roar – Women’s Voices from Suffragist to Dramatist” commemorating the 100th anniversary of the women’s suffrage movement in New York State. This year we are devoting our entire 2017 summer season to plays and musicals by female playwrights, as well as solo performances by BVT favorites and new faces. By dedicating an entire season to female artists, we hope to shine light on this issue but also to showcase the extraordinary diversity and creative power of the female dramatic voice.
