Hodges Persley directs Sister Cities: Expanding opportunities for women in the theater


In June, I had the formidable opportunity to direct my dear friend Colette Freedman's beautiful play Sister Cities. The play was part of The University of Kansas's Summer Theatre season. I worked with wonderful actresses from KU as well as the inimitable Jeanne Avril, a fantastic actress from Lawrence, KS. The play ran from Jun 25-27 and July 1-3rd. Audiences had a great time and the feedback from audiences was fantastic. Here I post a link to an article from the university newspaper, The Daily Kansan,http://www.kansan.com/news/2010/jul/01/university-summer-theatre-promotes-women-theater which focused on our participation in the national initiative to establish parity for women in the American Theatre called "50/50 by 2020." Enjoy.
