The Williamston Theatre is thrilled to reunite Suzi Regan and Annie Martin, the creative team behind Maidens, Mothers and Crones: Voices From Women of the Midwest, on this final installment of our Voices From the Midwest series. Using the voices of both young and old we will explores the concept of family and its many definitions. Through song, scenes and monologues, we'll examine how family both includes and transcends bloodlines, defining our worlds in very personal ways.
