Laura Clay: the making of a suffragist

The victories of today stand upon the toils of yesterday…

See the one-woman show that brings to life Laura Clay, the South's most famous women's rights activist during the Women’s Suffrage movement. Debuting for Women in History Month 2020 during the centennial year of the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, this show uses costume, drama, and song to tell the story of the struggle for women’s rights in the words of one of the movement’s most tenacious and pivotal workers.

Introduced by the character of Emeline Pankurst, Britain's leading suffragist (you’ll hear her mentioned in “Sister Suffragette,” of Mary Poppins fame), this one-woman show contrasts the British and southern American suffrage movements and details the road to true justice and equality for women through eyes of Laura Clay.

Based on the personal papers, letters, and journals of the Clay family.
