Celebrate Women's Equality Day with a free performance of HERstory: The 19th Amendment and the Power of the Vote! Thursday, August 22nd, 6:30 PM; College of Lake County, Auditorium A011, Grayslake, IL. Anita Kallen and Catherine Thomson (HERstoryMusicalShows.com) prove once again that “well-behaved women seldom make history.” They celebrate – in song and HERstory – the rabble-rousing pioneers who won the right to vote for the women of America and those fighting to preserve it today. With music by Sondheim, Lennon & McCartney, the Sherman Brothers, Parton, Schwartz, Porter, and others, Anita and Catherine weave in the story of women’s suffrage from second-class citizenship at the nation’s founding to the nail-biting final days in the fight for ratification of the 19th Amendment and to present-day efforts to preserve and maximize the power of women voting. In this presidential election year, join the HERstory duo to celebrate the power of the VOTE! Free admission; no registration required.
