Responding to the real historical lives of women who transcended gender roles (or, in some cases, rejected their right to do so), playwrights Rachel Bublitz, Tracy Held Potter, and Claire Rice present their inaugural festival of staged readings which defy the idea that a lady should ever be told her proper place. The plays include Potter's A Is for Adeline (June 25 and July 9), Rice's The Effects of Ultraviolet Light (June 26 and July 11), and Bublitz's Code Name: Brass Rose (June 27 and July 10).
