Theatre--Performance

Cite des Arts will present a staged reading of Revolting Women/WOMANBOMB at 6 pm on Friday, July 15.  Tickets for the performance are free and can be reserved by emailing mcgeec50@yahoo.com.

 Awarded “Best Acting” in The 2010 International United Solo Festival held at New York City’s Theatre Row, 42 Street, Revolting Women/WOMANBOMB explores the world of a 17-year old female suicide bomber and those of us left behind to pick up the pieces.

 Local actors Martha Diaz and Christy Leichty will join playwrights Allan Graubard and Caroline McGee to portray the roles of the suicide bomber, a BBC journalist, and two mothers mourning their daughters.
 A woman walks into a public place and explodes. Do we know her? Do we want to? Do we care?  Revolting Women/WOMANBOMB tracks an encounter with a tragic event and how media influences our perceptions of it – when suicide becomes a political weapon….
