A VOICE OF MY OWN by Elinor Jones

Naperville Woman's Club
Naperville, IL

Covering a broad spectrum from Sappho to writers of the present day, A Voice of My Own points out not only the triumphs of women in literature, but also the discouragement, derision and disbelief to which they were too often subjected. Spanning twenty-six centuries, the play evokes the words and feelings of women who were frequently obliged to hide behind anonymity or male names in order to practice their art, and from whom fantastic strength of character and indomitability were required. That they succeeded so brilliantly in their efforts is not only a tribute to these talented women in particular but, in a more general sense, to the irrepressible spirit of the entire "other half" of humanity, whose voice would not be denied.

Features actresses Judy Divita, Karen Holbert, Laura Leonardo-Ownby, Jennifer Mayberry, Amanda Ragan and Megan Wells. The show is directed by Craig Berger and the Music Director is is Gerry Volk.

"...an admirable anthology, not only effective
as theater, but also as an evening with a purpose."
-NY Times

"It is hard to believe so much pure entertainment
can be packed into a mere hour and a half."
-Rochester, NY Democrat and Chronicle
