No Pants in Tucson at A.R.T./NY

In the new subversive comedy, No Pants in Tucson, The Anthropologists draw upon blatantly bigoted state laws from the 19th and 20th centuries that made it illegal for women to wear pants in public. With a creative and producing team of women, non-binary, and transgender artists, they excavate historical newspaper articles, legal text, and photographic archives to unmask the real lives impacted by these archaic laws. The world-premiere of No Pants in Tucson begins November 5 and runs through November 14, 2021, at the Mezzanine Theatre at A.R.T./New York Theatres, 502 W 53rd St., New York 10019. For the past 13 years The Anthropologists have been centering womens experiences and elevating historically marginalized voices. From the immigrant housewives of the Lower East Side in 1917 to Egyptian garment-workers planting the seeds for the Arab Spring, their research-based plays put strong female narratives at the forefront.
