3GT presents an evening with our guest curator, Loud & Unladylike. Join us on August 5th at 7:30 PM for a presentation of THE EFFECTS OF ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT by Claire Rice.
Listen to a conversation with Loud & Unladylike:
Loud and Unladylike supports the creation of new plays about real women throughout history, presenting rich and interesting female characters who are examples of the varied and interesting human condition. These are women who have transcended the stereotype of what it means to be a ‘lady’. They are real people, women who have left their mark on history, through their contributions to the arts, sciences, politics, war, civil rights, and beyond. Their stories are not intended as museum pieces or propaganda, but as explorations of heartbreak and celebration, determination and failure, redemption and sacrifice. These women were not perfect, but were human beings with flaws, struggles, and strengths that deserve to be better known, and stories that deserve to be heard. It is our hope that by making room for these stories and bringing to the stage the lives of women who are often overlooked by history, the cultural landscape will in time become more equitable and women’s history will eventually become everyone’s history.
ABOUT THE PLAY
Inspired by events in the life of Roger Arliner Young and spanning ten years; a brilliant and ambitious scientist strives to make a name for herself while working with the most prestigious minds in her field. Along the way she must fight against racial prejudice, sexism, jealousy, and a volatile relationship with her mentor. Just as success is within her reach she looses her grip on her colleagues, her vision, and ultimately reality. THE EFFECTS OF ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT is a study in ambition and the cost of being the first through the door.
Tickets are free but space is limited.
