Carroll Theatre Presents "Blue Stockings" Description:
Carroll Theatre Department is presenting a moving play about the first women to attend classes at Cambridge as part of their education at Girton College in 1896. Directed by Carroll alum, Julia Harris, Blue Stockings by Jessica Swale is about the struggle of female intellectuals in the late 1800s. The action involves four very talented female undergraduates and the campaign to be allowed, like their male colleagues, to receive formal degrees at the end of their studies. The play touches on some of the issues surrounding the feminist ideals of the late nineteenth-century new woman including female bicycle-riding and equal education rights.
Shows will be at 7:30 p.m. on February 8, 9, 14, 15 and 16. There is one matinee on February 10 at 2:30 p.m. Parking is free in the Campus Center lot off of Lyndale for all performances. The theatre is fully ADA accessible through the east entrance of the Campus Center. Tickets are available at the door or online. Tickets are $15 for general admission, $10 for students and seniors, $5 for children 12 and younger, and $5 with a current Carroll College ID.
