UPCOMING: Free Performance (in person AND virtual) UPCOMING: Free Performance (in person AND virtual) of HERstory: Trailblazing Female Firsts

In honor of Women's History Month, Morton Grove Public Library is hosting a free performance (in person AND virtual) of HERstory: Trailblazing Female Firsts on Sunday, March 26 at 2 PM.
Chicago cabaret artists Catherine Thomson and Anita Kallen salute the gutsy gals who boldly defied society’s conventions - going where no woman had gone before - and achieved groundbreaking female “Firsts.” With songs by Harold Arlen, Stephen Schwartz, Dolly Parton, Tom Lehrer, Kander & Ebb, and Sara Bareilles, among others, Anita and Catherine share inspiring stories of amazing women and their trailblazing triumphs. Their first audiences enthusiastically responded with standing ovations. Check out video clips from the debut of HERstory: Trailblazing Female Firsts here: https://youtu.be/9EV9PooZhwI

UPCOMING: Free Performance of HERstory: The 19th A UPCOMING: Free Performance of HERstory: The 19th Amendment and the Power of the Vote

In honor of Women's History Month, the Indian Trails Public Library District is hosting a free performance of HERstory: The 19th Amendment and the Power of the Vote on Sunday, March 19 at 3 PM.
Chicago cabaret artists Anita Kallen and Catherine Thomson celebrate – in song and HERstory – the rabble-rousing pioneers who won the right to vote for the women of America and those fighting to preserve it. With music by Sondheim, Lennon & McCartney, the Sherman Brothers, Parton, Schwartz, Porter, and others, Anita and Catherine weave in the story of women’s suffrage from second-class citizenship at the nation’s founding to the nail-biting final days in the fight for ratification of the 19th Amendment and then to present-day efforts to preserve and maximize the power of women voting.
