LECTURES
THE SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT
Presented by Michele LaRue, usually after her presentation of SOMEONE MUST WASH THE DISHES
HISTORY OF AMERICAN THEATER
Presented by Gayle Stahlhuth
Usually there is interest in a particular theatrical era or theater personality, but the lecture can also be an
overview of theater from the 1860's - 1960's. For those wishing more of a hands-on approach, participants can
even be given selections from scripts to read aloud.
