Jessica Litwak's Emma Goldman Trilogy explores the life and work of the in/famous anarchist Emma Goldman.  Filled with excitement, humor and pathos, the plays portray Goldman's time in prison, her public life, and her relationship with her life-long comrade Alexander Berkman: one of the most unusual love stories of all time. The trilogy celebrates a life full of love, passion, and revolution. There will be a panel discussion and themed refreshments after each play. Panelists and actors will be announced shortly.

1:00 Love, Anarchy and Other Affairs (circa 1901)

3:00 The Snake and The Falcon (circa 1919)

Afternoon workshop: Writing and Performing Women’s History

Taught by Jessica Litwak, this workshop is nurturing and fun. Participants each chose a woman of history, makes a puppet of her, then delve into writing and performing. Participants leave with a puppet, a monologue and a new toolbox of theatre skills.
