It’s My Party! just ended its month-long run at Dallas’ Echo Theatre. The cast and creative team made my play about the struggle to pass the 19th Amendment come alive onstage. Echo is streaming it as video-on-demand till October 17th. Click here for more info and tickets.

"With its strong production values and casting, It’s My Party! should foster talk well after the curtain call. The show should inspire audiences to explore this history and then perhaps fight for equal rights today as they had to do a century ago."
