The Fight for the Vote, at Home and Beyond - Bristol Valley Theater

This lecture by local historians Preston Pierce, Sue Winslow and Beth Thomas will discuss suffragists who lived and struggled in local communities including South Bristol, Canandaigua and Victor, and those who carried the torch after Susan B. Anthony's death. This presentation 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.
