Act a Lady

When the men of a small Prohibition-era town decide to put on a play dressed in “fancy-type, women-type clothes,” the whole community is affected: gender lines blur, eyebrows raise, identities explode, and life and art are forever entangled. Jordan Harrison’s Act a Lady is a thoughtful, exuberant Midwestern fable about the woman in every man, the man in every woman and the power of theater to uncover both. Accompanied by accordion.
