About the Show
Staged readings of a new play with music celebrating the contributions of women over the past 80 years. We've all heard about the all-male "secret society" at Yale. But, what if there was an all-female secret society that makes its home out of an abandoned dome room at a university in Milwaukee? Since 1945, this group of brilliant, courageous college women have made it their goal to ensure women are at every table where important stuff happens. From their refuge overlooking the campus, they've been involved with such monumental events as the first Black woman to star at the Met Opera, the election of the first female leader of a Muslim country, and the discovery of polio vaccine. Facing the dissolution of their society we see the developing sisterhood among the Sentinels of each era as they experience the societal sea changes of those periods. This is their story. The Sentinels.
