MAKE CREATE MORE: NEW WORK WEEKEND The Residency Readings
Join playwright and director Catherine Stewart for a weekend of readings, conversation, and creative exchange celebrating the culmination of her residency at The Dance Hall.
Three women break into a laboratory to reclaim a body of research, only to find themselves confronting a much larger question: who gets to decide what counts as evidence?
A comic thriller sparked by an act of rebellion, Blood, Sweat and Tears explores the messiness of the female body and the cost of being told that lived experience doesn't belong in the data.
Cast: Monique Peaslee Foote as Jennifer, Colleen A. Madden as Dawn, and Constance Witman as Melissa.
Spend a weekend at The Dance Hall. Hear new work. Meet artists. Help shape what comes next.
All events are free. RSVP encouraged.
