“A woman’s place is in the house – the House of Representatives”
Professor Judith Nies workshopped her play, Bella’s Choice, in the Liberal Arts Department Playwriting workshop. Now it goes live on stage.
“Bella’s Choice,” Judith Nies writes, “is about Bella Abzug’s 1976 effort to become New York’s first woman senator. Newburyport Actors Studio selected it in a competition for one-act plays .”
The play appears in Glass Ceilings, “a collection of four one-act plays,” the Actors Studio of Newburyport reports, “written and directed by women. The challenges, accomplishments, disappointments and successes presented in these short plays engage, entertain, inspire, amuse and take us on a journey through life’s moments, big and small, from the feminine perspective. The playwrights are Kathleen Miller, Judith Nies, Adair Rowland, and Edith Wharton. Our directors are Kathleen Isbell, Hailey Klein, Anna Smulowitz and Sally Nutt.”
Performances are 8:oo PM September 15-17 and September 22-24 and 5:00 PM September 17 and 24. More information is here.
