Be part of Mount Holyoke College's year-long celebration of playwright Wendy Wasserstein by performing an "uncommon woman" circa 1972.  Wasserstein's Uncommon Women and Others is a comedy set in New York City and Mount Holyoke College.  The cast will address the questions of the play in their original context as well as in the context of Mount Holyoke today.  Where will you be ten years from now?  What does it mean to be an independent, educated, and uncommon woman?  All the roles are rich and complex.  The acting style is naturalistic, but a good sense of comedy is important.

Please show up ready to read sides.  It will work to your advantage to read the play in advance.
Performances:  April 19-22, 26-29
