*Top Girls transgresses ancient to modern femininity in two distinct
acts. Act One features an imagined restaurant table full of ladies who
lunch... in a time-traveling dialogue from various centuries and
cultures in womankind's history! Act Two is a springboard departure
into family drama-- a personal examination of relationships between
mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend.*

*Oscar Wilde fans the flames of Edwardian social change with his
typical adroitness. Comedy and manners offer a tongue-lashing,
suspenseful assault on Victorian values. An attractive stranger
invades the domestic bliss of Lady & Lord Windermere, and her past has
the potential to drastically alter their future. Lord Darlington plays
a hand. All bets hinge on chance, fate, accident... and a fan.*

*An absurdly satirical indictment of the excesses of both men and
women, this 1802 comedy remained unproduced until 2003. When Sir
Roderick is jilted by Lady Smatter, he proclaims himself a woman-hater
and is determined to keep his young heir away from the opposite sex.
Identities are mistaken, social pretensions are deliciously exposed,
and the gender constructs of wifely and daughterly duties are boldly
upended — bringing forth a new kind of heroine.*

*With...*

*Rocky Encalada+, Dylan Freeman, TJ Gainley*, **Khaki Hermann
Rachel Lee Kolis+, Doug Kusak, Gus Mahoney, **Marcia Mandell
Meg Martinez+, Nate Miller, John Polk, Michael Regnier
