Women You Thought You Knew: A Trilogy at IATI Theater

Finally so-called "bad girls" have their say in the three tales of three women in the trilogy "Women You Thought You Knew". In "The Grinder" a stripper past her prime finds it hard to dance her way off the strip club runway due feelings of abandonment as an adolescent; in "Silk Stockings and the Bible" a "church lady" and former Swing Era chorus girl reminisces about her spicy past; in "Wild Child" a Chinese American party girl of the Disco Era, who is the "black sheep" of her image conscious family, befriends a disturbed Vietnam veteran and discovers her Afro-Chinese relative. Venture into the hearts and minds of these hard drinking, hard living, hard partying, hard working women. Lots of social issues incorporated in the stories from the pre-Gay Rights era to the plight of war veterans. How often do you find the three plays of a trilogy in the same run? The trilogy runs in March in homage to Women's History Month and SWAN Day.
