The year 2020 marks 100 years since the passage of the 19th Amendment giving 26 million women the right to vote. While it failed to enfranchise women of color, it was a huge step towards equality. We Did It For You! The Suffrage Story and Voting Today tells the story of how women got their rights focusing on voting rights for women and minorities, and it offers ways you can take action to ensure we get out the vote in 2020! Be inspired to take action, from the comfort of your living room.

Cast members will be participating in this reading from cities and towns across the United States. Since we cannot gather together to perform this show, we are bringing this play-reading to you.

Deana Tavares, Massachusetts - "Fannie Lou Hamer"
"Many of us do not fit into the narrow-minded boxes that have been designed for us.  I'm passionate about helping others to realize that they do have a voice that can and should be heard."


Andrea Riggs, California - "Alice Paul"
"I wrote "Wake Up, American Women" to wake women up to the unconscious messages our daughters are sending us as the at-risk statistics for women sky rocket in our country of abundant freedom."
 
Roseli Weiss, Massachusetts - "Eleanor Roosevelt"
"My great-grandmother was a suffragist and she marched in the parade to gain the right to vote in Boston in 1913. She inspired me to speak up for my rights as a woman and to not just settle."

“Amazing show—stories that we NEED to hear, now more than ever!”
