Join the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington Shakespeare Company, and The George Washington University, for the second annual festival of staged readings highlighting plays and poetry by historic and contemporary women. Featuring the talents of area directors and actors, the 2009-2010 festival explores dramatic works by women of the English stage from the late-seventeenth and early-eighteenth centuries, as well as an evening of poetry and dance. The reading festival continues with an evening of poetry by writers such as Aphra Behn, Anne Bradstreet, and Jane Lead, ranging from the bawdy to the mystical. The program includes a dance performance by Heather Pultz and the Artefacts Dance Company. Introductions by Allyson Currin, Marty De Silva, Dorothy Fortenberry, and Callie Kimball. Directed by Jodie Kanter. FREE
