Smart Women

Synopsis

Talking turtles, armed teenagers, a live ventriloquist dummy, a mental hospital, a rogue bell ringer - the inaugural production of the Kathie Rasmussen Women's Theatre explores issues as intimate as family relationships and as global as the Middle East.

Selected from many submissions, these nine original comedies and dramas - whimsical, thought-provoking, at times both - are by women whose voices deserve to be heard.
