• Brava! Women Make American Theater

  May 27

  10:30AM – 11:30AM

  William L. Harkness Hall | Room: 119 — 100 Wall Street

  Melissa Barton '02, Curator of Prose and Drama for the Yale Collection of American Literature, Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library
  
  “Brava! Women Make American Theater" showcases, through archival materials, the ways in which women in the United States engaged in the production and reception of stage performance over its long history. Brava! highlights how stage performance often mirrored, but also frequently challenged and changed, understandings of women’s roles and of women’s rights in larger U.S. society. Drawing principally on materials in the Yale Collection of American Literature and the James Weldon Johnson Memorial Collection of African American Arts and Letters, the exhibit explores how theater served as a site of women’s entry into public audiences, an entrée into the arts as professions, and a locus of calls for diversity in the arts.
