We Must Be Fearless: The Woman’s Suffrage Movement in Indiana by Anita Morgan is a popular history of the women’s suffrage movement in Indiana and tells the story of the sixty-nine-year struggle for the right to vote in the state. The people who acted, what they did, and the results of their efforts are the focus. Through this story, it also places the state’s women more firmly in the history of Indiana, the Midwest, and the nation. Author Anita Morgan will present her continuing research for the Indiana Women’s Suffrage Centennial in honor of the release of her new book.

You are invited to a first for the Jewish Theatre of Bloomington! Join us via Zoom for a staged reading of “The Grandkid” by John Lazarus, one of Canada’s leading playwrights! This honest and heartwarming intergenerational play is directed by Darrell Stone; starring Gerard (Gerry) Pauwels and Anna Doyle.

Julius Rothstein and his granddaughter Abby have loved each other from opposite ends of Canada since Abby was born. But now, accepted as a freshman student at the University where Julius teaches, Abby is moving in with him to be close to school and to keep her newly widowed grandfather company.

The two must negotiate a new relationship as housemates and friends, which means dealing with issues of youth and age, work and play, activism and apathy, homework and heart attacks, and those three tricky topics: sex, politics and religion.

What: The Grandkid – a JTB Zoom staged reading
When: Saturday, August 15th at 7:30 pm OR Sunday, August 16 at 3:00 pm (EST)
Where: Online via Zoom. After submitting your RSVP, you will receive an email with the Zoom link at least one day prior to the reading.
