Women’s Journey Through History is the story of how women got their rights in America, told by the women who were there. Covering over 400 years, it shares anecdotes from the lives of 20 characters and identifies the problems women have been up against on their road towards equality. The musical has been performed in California for colleges, high schools, conventions, and organizations since 2010. Staged readings have been done in Ohio, Maryland, and Massachusetts. Audiences love this show because it is entertaining while having educational depth. Time and again, audience members say, “I didn’t know that.”

Testimonials “I thought the play was beautifully done... Lots of historical perspective linking together things I remember and things I don't. Characters felt real, pacing was just right, music well done... I do hope you will perform it again.” – Susan Hotchkiss, First Unitarian Universalist Society of Middleboro “Great and inspirational performance last night.” – David Temple, First Parish UU, Medfield “A very powerful play. It gives me hope - even as we face the daily grind of prejudice and injustice.” - Rev. Jim Robinson, Unitarian Church of Sharon “I really enjoyed the play. I felt it was very "accessible", not too preachy, not so dense in detail that the point was lost, captivating. I liked the perspective of the young woman - how much she did not know, and how surprised she was at the facts.” - Andrea Preist, Executive Director, Town of Middleborough Council on Aging “The performance was so outstanding and moving that I got goose bumps and cried. A performance in which each historical figure describes her own trials and accomplishments is so much better than just reading about the woman in a book.” - Lilly Ledbetter, Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, the first act of legislation signed by President Obama "There is a sense of wonderment, gratitude and deep humility awaiting the audiences of "We Did it For You". An astonishing revelation of women's often unrecognized accomplishments throughout history. Playwright Thea Iberall offers a multi-century parade of feminine genius and courage .. and does it with humor and fun. Your daughters must see this but, the men in your family will enjoy it too.” -- Paul Williams, Oscar, Grammy and Golden Globe Winning Songwriter "Loved it! Learned a lot - even though I consider myself a somewhat well-read feminist!" - Susan Grantham "This gave me a glimmer of hope." - Marissa Antosh, Norfolk Public Library   Other performances Saturday, Jan 13, 2018 7:00 PM United Church of Walpole 30 Common Street, Walpole, MA $10 General admission $5 students (age 18 and under) Reserve your tickets through Brown Paper Tickets Includes reception afterwards Refreshments provided by Starbucks Sat., March 10, 2018 First Unitarian Universalist Society of Middleboro 25 South Street Middleborough, MA 02346 Q&A, reception Thu., March 15, 2018 6:00 PM New Bedford Whaling Museum 18 Johnny Cake Hill New Bedford, MA 02740 Q&A, reception Our mission is to encourage women and men to take action for a balanced society.
