We Did It For You!
Women's Journey Through History
Women's Journey Through History
Join Munroe Saturday Nights for the first performance of the 2020/2021 season! We are excited to bring our audience safe and fabulous performances! We are kicking off the season with We Did It For You! The performance will take place online at 7:30pm on Saturday, September 12th!
We Did It For You! is a charming musical that tells of the struggles and triumphs women have undergone to get their basic rights in America. A high school student has a history project to figure out who has done the most for women of today, and she learns the answer from the women who were there. With this year marking the 100th anniversary of women getting the right to vote, this play is the ideal history lesson disguised as entertainment. Playwright Thea Iberall says, “The women of the past did so much for us. It’s our responsibility to carry on their work for future generations.” The play shares anecdotes from 400 years of history through the lives of a few dozen characters and shows the accomplishments of hundreds of others. Importantly, it identifies the problems women are up against on their road towards equality. The musical has been performed for colleges, high schools, organizations, and the public since 2010. Audiences love it because it is entertaining while having educational depth. Time and again, audience members say, “I didn’t know that.”
In this on-line presentation of the complete play, audiences will watch a dramatic reading of the play by costumed actors including videos of musical numbers from past live performances. Cast members will be participating from cities and towns across the United States.
The performance starts at 7:30pm with a Q and A following the play.
