Lit Up at Town Hall Theater


Theme: Fraternité/Sororité
SEE THE LINE UP. READ THEIR BIOS.
https://www.townhalltheatre.com/lit-up-at-town-hall/

Lit Up at Town Hall Theatre provides an exciting opportunity for community authors, lecturers, musicians, and artists from across generations to come together with theatre-goers and other members of the community and share their work. Each of these literary salons will focus on a specific theme that captures and expands upon motifs within the current production, providing an in-depth and multi-layered theatre experience.

Join us for the next LIT UP on October 3, 2018 7:30-9:00 PM BUY TICKETS HERE: https://www.townhalltheatre.com/get-involved/

Taking inspiration from the French motto, "liberté, égalité, fraternité," how can a sisterhood, or "sororite," find its rightful place in society?

How do language, art, and protest work to redefine and, perhaps, blur the lines between fraternite and sororite?

What role does gender play in the creation of stories? Where have women historically found their power in words?
