By Anna Ziegler  

Directed by David Auburn 

For today’s performance, the roles of Mrs. Bundy/Howard/Joan will be played by Jenn Davis.

Performance Dates: July 18-20.  

A time-shifting exploration of the life of a women’s magazine – why it starts, why it ends, and whether very much at all has changed for women over the course of the last 65 years. From underestimated faculty wives at Harvard in the 1950s who long to break free of their societal roles to modern-day midwestern office workers still wishing for more, Celebrating Sixty-Five-Years of the Ladies Journal of Cambridge Massachusetts! is a sharply funny and poignant play about the progress of feminism and whether it's ever possible (or indeed desirable) to have it all.   

This reading may not be suitable for children under 10. 

The New Play Workshops and Readings are made possible in part by a generous grant from the Roe Green Foundation.
