Remember the Ladies: A Women's Reenactment

Remember the Ladies: A Women

About

St. John's Church Foundation presents a gender-reversed production of our time-honored Liberty or Death reenactment. In this historic rendition, women drawn from Richmond's vibrant theatre and film community portray nine delegates to the Second Virginia Convention, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Richard Henry Lee and of course, Patrick Henry.

Directed by Yes, And Theatrical Company co-founder and Artistic Director Maggie Roop, this special production was inspired by and commemorates the passing of the 19th Amendment in August 1920, which gave women the right to vote and at-long-last participate in our representational democracy.

Casting female actors in traditionally male roles is a unique and deliberate way to shift our modern perspective, allowing us to better hear the profundity of Henry's arguments, and more fully comprehend America’s relentless pursuit for liberty.
