January 2019 – LADIES OF A CERTAIN AGE ROCK THE STAGE IN MOXIE ROLLING
WORLD PREMIERE
January 2019 – With her debut Herland at MOXIE Theatre, Grace McLeod is the youngest person ever to receive a prestigious Rolling World Premiere from the National New Play Network. McLeod's comedy follows a trio of lady septuagenarians who hire a high school intern to hatch a bold program for a utopian alternative rather than move in to a retirement dwelling house. After its premiere at MOXIE, the play, which deals with coming out and being truthful to yourself at all ages, will receive separate productions at Red Twist Theatre in Chicago and Greenway Court Theatre in Los Angeles equally a office of the Rolling World Premiere.
In a culture that's ever obsessed with youth, Herland challenges the thought that young people are the only ones living the virtually important fourth dimension of their lives. Like the primal immature character, high schoolhouse graduates are constantly being told that that singular moment is the time to make up one's mind what to do with the rest of their lives; the older characters in the show show that we keep deciding and making choices at every age.
Executive Artistic Managing director Jennifer Eve Thorn, who also helms this production, loved the opportunity to hire a variety of actresses: "It's at the very moment women are feeling the most brave and sure of themselves every bit artists that our culture writes them off as secondary characters.
Some of the best talent in San Diego theatre is over 65 and female. Those women don't have the opportunities they should. Herland is a showcase for some of my favorite young and mature actresses in San Diego. Information technology'south about women. Being together. And liking it. I love that."
Thorn isn't the but one loving the play's focus. Council President Georgette Gómez (District 9) will be joining Herland playwright McLeod for a post-prove give-and-take afterwards the Fri January 25th performance. The talk volition be titled "Queer Role Models in Fiction and Mankind."
Directed past Jennifer Eve Thorn. The Design and Production Team includes: Prepare Design, Julie Lorenz; Costume Design, Anastasia Puatova; Lighting Design, Ashley Bietz ; Audio Design, Lily Voon; Properties Blueprint, Angelica Ynfante; Stage Direction, Megan Ames.

Then, I proposed a partnership that would exist a win for anybody. Fade fits the mission of both our companies and MOXIE is honored to be working with TuYo."

Both are surviving in the same oppressive system, but they are on different rungs of the ladder. How they bargain with the inequality they face has a lot to practice with the admission they have to ability and how they choose to use it.
"I just hope they take away the complication of what it'due south similar to exist Mexican right now. How we have to navigate and code switch in a manner that maybe your boilerplate American doesn't accept to. I simply hope that they go that when they're thinking well-nigh the states on an everyday level."
