The Curtain will present their first post-show talk-back with The Women’s March leadership following this Sunday’s matinee performance (March 15 at 3pm) of their all-new adaptation of Richard III at Nimbus Arts Center in downtown Jersey City. Featuring Women’s March Creative Director Kim Parker Russell and Network Organizer Shawna Knipper, the panel will be moderated by The Curtain’s Artistic Director Sean Hagerty and will include several cast members.
