Season 11: 2006-2007
RED HEN PRESENTS A STAGED READING OF
"THE FIGHTING DAYS"
"The Fighting Days" by Wendy Lill - is set in
Winnipeg during 1910-1917 and focuses on the life and work of
Francis Marion Benyon, a journalist and political activist who
becomes involved in the Votes for Women movement. The play
follows her character as she becomes employed as editor for a
small rural review and airs her controversial political views on
the editorial page. As Canada is plunged into WW1 and the
conscription crisis divides the suffragists- many issues
confront the character and us the audience: should all women
have the vote, or just Dominion-born women who are sending their
husbands and sons off to battle - should women use their votes
to push for conscription or to lobby for a swift end to the
war. Red Hen thinks this play and its issues are still
relevant, and think it is a perfect time to present - prior to
the Nov. elections.
BIG BARD BROADS
In Shakespeare's day only men could
tread the boards, but now some big bard broads are turning the
tables. Red Hen and Charenton have come together to bring
a fresh perspective to some of Shakespeare's broadest
characters. There is a wealth of female talent in
Cleveland, and they are fed up with playing the dainty damsels
in distress, these actresses are rolling up their sleeves and
diving head first into a zany mix of Shakespeare's greatest
clowns.
Director Dawn Youngs has woven together a comical and fast paced
30 minute romp of some of Shakespeare's most famous works: A
Midsummer Night's Dream, The Tempest, Hamlet, and Much Ado About
Nothing. Follow 6 of Cleveland's most talented actresses
as they take you on a wonderful ride, all the while taking over
some of the most coveted roles for men.
Season 10: 2005-2006
RED HEN PRODUCTIONS 10TH ANNIVERSARY SEASON
This One Thing I Do
by Claire Braz-Valentine
The life
story of Susan B Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton
This wonderful play takes the audience through the struggle for women's
rights from 1901 through the end of Susan B Anthony and Elizabeth Cady
Stanton's lives. This struggle saw both women fight every day and step of
the way to get women's voting rights, equal pay and equal rights. Although
their struggle of voting rights was not realized before death, 7 states had
passed the suffrage act. The important work these 2 women did laid the path
for our generation to enjoy Equal Rights in many areas. The struggle
continues and it is important to understand how far we have come
Forbidden
written by
Pat Rowe and directed by Karen Gygli, is the story of Lilly, the wife of a Nazi
officer and mother of four, and Felice, a woman hiding her Jewish identity. Set
in Berlin in 1943 it is based on the true story
of their relationship. This riveting play about identity, racism, defiance and
passion, gives an intimate look at the damage done by anti-Semitism, homophobia
and fascism to those they sought to destroy, and to those who were part of the
Nazi leadership.
"Women on the Verge
of …figuring it out!” , is an evening of two fun one act plays
Brownie Points and
Harvesting the Marigold Seeds
, both directed by Red Hen Artistic Director Rose Leininger,
 This production of Brownie Points
will be the North American premier. Brownie Points won the Best of
1997 Vancouver Fringe Festival Award and has received two nominations at the
1998 Jessie Richardson Theatre Awards for Outstanding Performance and
Outstanding Original Play.
Season 9: 2004-2005
Body Outlaws
Straight Shooting at False Images
Created by Red Hen Productions, based on the book by Ophira Edut, Body Outlaws is a theatre performance for
students 14 - 18. Empowering students to take personal responsibility for claiming their own identity, we show that the courage to break down stereotypes
is in their own hands.
The play is an alternative view
of body image and how to preserve your self-esteem in the world of reality show
plastic surgery. Young people are
awash daily in unrealistic standards for women’s bodies that pop culture and
mass media present as the "norm".
Each 40-minute performance
will be followed by an educational talk back with the actors and a trained
facilitator. Performances will take place during the spring of 2005.
A sampling of titles - Beauty Secrets, My Brown
Face, Becoming la Mujer, Mirror Mirror on the Wall, Veiled Intentions, and
Cro-Magnon Karma – cover topics
that include body size, skin color, the "right" hair, the modeling industry,
stature, and feeling like an outsider when you are Indian, Muslim, Jewish
etc.

Ready to Write your Own Rules about What’s Beautiful? That
Makes You an Outlaw! Body Outlaws, a multicultural collection of essays on
beauty and body image, has been performed by Red Hen Productions,
Cleveland’s feminist theatre, since 2001 and is now an outreach program for
youth. Through brave acts of self-acceptance, body outlaws treat the world
to some badly-needed therapy, reminding us that confidence and beauty come
in many forms.

Season 8: 2003-2004
 Intensive Care
Poetry by Jeanne Bryner
Directed and Adapted by Nicole Pearce
The play tells the remarkable story of 13 nurses, from a Quebec hospital in 1694 to the Oklahoma City bombing. Directed by Cleveland native Nicole Pearce and written by local poet, Jeanne Bryner, the piece uses Bryner's
moving poems as the nucleus to an organically create a dramatic work about women
who give of themselves freely for the care of others. Intensive Care
honors women nurses around the world who give without being asked and share when
support is needed most.
The Akron Beacon Journal stated; "By bringing poetry and stories of nursing together, Byrner and Pearce have fused the catharsis of the soul and the healing of the body into a memoir of women who've struggled all their lives to do the same." The work was culled together with the help of Pearce and several local nurses and actors, each of them contributing something from their collective experiences. Intensive Care is sponsored in part by Red Hen Productions, Cleveland OH (www.feministtheatre.org),
California Institute of the Arts, and The BACKDOOR Theatre, Warren OH.
Produced at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland in August
2004.
Tuesday in No Man's Land
Tuesday in No Man's Land is a controversial play that takes
place in the waiting room of an abortion clinic. Trapped inside the clinic with a gauntlet of
protestors and potential violence outside, three women with three very different lives confront their choices.
Featuring a multi-cultural cast and crew, the production looks point blank at the issue of abortion and the
many ways it affects women's lives.
Season 7: 2002-2003
Crazy Ladies
The fifth annual Red Hen Rehearsals staged reading series brings us short
scenes about people we know well. Join us on the ambient patio of Café Limbo as
we share some cappuccino with some frank discussions about dieting, dating,
menopause, play acting and, well, some crazy ladies.
Scenes include The Future, Balance, Tea Time, Chocolate Solution,
Continuing Education, Closing Time, Dramatic Arts, The Pause and Sorry.
Waving Goodbye
Taking place in the past and the present, Waving Goodbye is about loss,
grief, change, making art, being stalled, wishing things were different, moving
forward, first love, not turning into your mother, and those irrevocable moments
after which nothing is the same. Written by award-winning author Janie Pachino,
the play was produced Pilgrim Church in October 2002.
Season 6: 2001-2002
 Stop
Kiss
Diana Sonís award-winning drama
tells the story of two women who surprise themselves by falling in love.
Switching between the events leading up to their first kiss and the events
following that kiss, this haunting script charts one womanís emotional
awakening. Youíll never look at first love the same way again. Jan
Bruml's dynamite cast won three awards for this September 2001 production.
 Cherchez
Dave Robicheaux
Meet Nola Rhinderknecht, an agoraphobic Indiana housewife
who may or may not abandon her champion-bowler husband Bob. For five
years Nola has rarely left their mobile home. TV, the Book of the
Month Club, and the Internet keep her connected, more or less. Mostly,
though, Nola seeks refuge in the novels of James Lee Burke, whose recovering-alcoholic
Cajun detective Dave Robicheaux is her romantic hero. She decides
to find him in the flesh. (Never mind that he's a literary character.)
On the road to New Iberia, Louisiana, Nola becomes the involuntary travel
partner of another fugitive from reality. Elizabeth Bye Harkness
and her multiple personalities lead Nola into a Hoosier Wonderland where
Fiction and Blind Faith confront Fear and Regret. Guess who wins?
The outcome will amuse and move you. Written by Nancy Wright and
directed by Denise Astorino in March 2002.
 Commencing
In an encore Red Hen Rehearsals project, playwright Jane
Shepard provides another great play for director Jan Bruml and actors Harriett
Logan and Cat Kenney. Commencing is a wonderful story of a
blind date Ö from hell. It's been a long time since Kelly had a date,
but when her blind date turns out to be woman, all hell breaks loose.
Without the usual candor of politeness, Kelly and Arlin ask each other
serious questions about their choices and histories, and surprise themselves
by letting their usual reserves down and developing an unlikely friendshipÖ
Performed at Cafe Limbo in July 2002.
Season 5: 2000-2001
 Rehearsing
Cyrano
This is feminist theatre.
Jan Bruml and Harriett Logan directed Linda Eisenstein's send-up in September
2000. Women turn a classic inside out: students at a women's
college stage their own version of Cyrano de Bergerac, experimenting with
men's roles, power, and playmaking. Full of poetry, song, improv
comedy, sword fights ñ as well as explorations of gender issues and body
image ó this boisterous comedy is a love letter to the transforming powers
of theatre.
 Gum
What price is equality? Two
sisters in an fictitious third-world country grapple with arranged marriages,
curfews, guardians, and a lust for life. They also discover that
women who express passion must pay a heavy penalty. Could this mean death
for the taboo of chewing gum? Written by Karen Hartman and directed
by Shelley Butler in March 2001.
 Body
Outlaws
Red Hen Rehearsals continues with
staged readings taken from Ophira Edut's Body Outlaws. These
essay/monologues encompass a wide range of personal experiences with body
image and self-perception as seen by fat, small, black, white, straight,
queer, athletic and disabled women. Directed by Karen Gygli at Loganberry
Books in August 2001.
Night
of
a Thousand Barbies
A Barbie Benfit Party! DJíed
by Skipper and the Dawns with live broadcasting on BTV. Party-goers came
dressed as their own favorite Barbie (Birkenstock Barbie, Bi-Sexual Barbie,
Menopausal BarbieÖ) and competed to win the Barbie Oscar for best costume!
Featuring great food & wine, Polaroids with your favorite Barbie, and
a silent auction of cool vintage games and toys. Proceeds supported
Red Hen's productions of Body Outlaws and Stop Kiss.
Season 4: 1999-2000
 The
Clue in the Old Birdbath
In October of 1999, we were at
Pilgrim UCC in Tremont again with a hilarious musical parody of the Nancy
Drew series books. This ensemble piece was written by Kate Kasten
and Sandra de Helen and is played by seven female actors. Tansy True
and her coherts Joe and Bets bomb around in Tansy's green roadster finding
mystery and intrigue to make them pause, and of course, solve the mystery.
Fear not, your favorite girl heroine does good again, and the play celebrates
Nancy's place in the hearts and history of American culture, and her status
as girl icon. Don't miss this hysterical appreciation of a series
begun in the 1930's and continuing to this day! Directed by Karen
Gygli.
 The
Merchant of Venice
In January 2000, Red Hen presents a gender-bending staged
reading of Shakespeare's controversial Merchant of Venice.
Instead of using cast of 12 men and 3 women (as Shakespeare calls
for), Red Hen has cast the show with 12 women and 3 men. With Shylock
and Antonio cast as women, and several other traditionally male roles played
by females either in drag or androgynously, Red Hen changes the face
of Shakespeare and his male-dominant world. Religious stereotypes
must compete here with gender and sexuality stereotypes, and one wonders
what the prejudices really are.
 The
Last Nickel
Stay tuned for the continuation of Red Hen Rehearsals:
informal staged readings produced in the summer at the intimate environment
of Loganberry Books. This year we feauture a lovel play by Jane Shepard
called The Last Nickel. What's stronger than the bond between
sisters? In The Last Nickel, two sisters fight insomnia while reliving
and reinterpreting their relationship. Their candor and humor is
enough to keep you up all night, but then again so is the baggage they
carry. What's with the puppets? (hey, stop putting words in
my mouth!) And what's with the jukebox? (oh, stop singing.)
Anyway, I don't know, you'll have to see for yourself. (No strings
attached.) (Sorry.) Bring your laughter and your hankies.
Outreach
We continue our participation in
community events like the AIDS Walk, Dancing in the Streets, the Pride
March, Walk for Hunger and the Hessler Street Fair. Our participation
in the Great Lake Theater Festival's Total Will Power helped make
all the Bard's works accessible in Cleveland in the year 2000.
Season 3: 1998-1999
 Eight
Impressions of a Lunatic
In August 1998 Red Hen produced
a play by Cleveland Heights native, popular and prolific, and critically
acclaimed playwright Sarah Morton. It was directed by Karen Gygli
and performed at Pilgrim UCC in Tremont. Eight Impressions
is drawn from the life and work of 19th-century French Impressionist painter
Berthe Morisot. Morisot was the only woman to show her work at the
first Impressionist Exhibition in 1874. A friend, student, and model
of Edouard Manet, she defied conventional expectations and resolved to
become an important artist in her own right. This collection of eight
evocative scenes explores the challenges Morisot faced asd she created
her own unique life and art. Morton sheds revealing light on this
fascinating woman and questions what it means to be an artist in any age
in any medium. This production was a critical rave and a box office
smash, with a cast that included Tracey Field as Berthe Morisot and Jeffery
Allen, Allen Branstein, Thomas Cullinan, David Hansen, Trishalana Kopaitich,
Carol Laursen, Christine McBurney and Michelle Pristash as her various
friends and family members.
Red Hen Rehearsals: Feminism
is Funny
Red Hen Rehearsals is a series
of well rehearsed but low tech staged readings presented in an informal
settingówith audience participation! We merged the formats of FemFest
and
Red
Hen Reads to create this festival and hope that Red Hen Rehearsals
will be an annual event with different themes each year. This yearís program
is called Feminism is Funny
and will present three seldom-seen feminist comedies.
I Read About My Death in Vogue
Magazine by Lydia Sargent is ensemble
piece about women who embraced the feminist movement in the seventies,
along with their hysterical parodies of the changing messages in the media.
Vogue
satirizes
three decades of womenís images and roles in society, which still resonate
at the cusp of the new millennium. Directed by Harriett Logan.
Sex was written by
none other than Mae West in (can you believe it?) 1926. How
else could Mae West obtain her reputation without writing her own roles?
In this play she starred as a whore with a heart of gold who gets deserved
revenge upon a hypocritical snob by hitting her where she lives, literally!
Directed by Jeffrey Allen.
Battered on Broadway by
Carolyn Gage involves a fundraising meeting for a
battered womenís shelter with famous heroines from the heyday of American
musical theatreÖwell, and Annie. Prepare yourself for some shocking disclosures
and sneaky plot twists along the way. Directed by Karen Gygli.
Outreach
We continue our participation in
community events like the AIDS Walk, Dancing in the Streets, the Pride
March, and Walk for Hunger. Our summer theatre program for inner-city
children at Trinity Cathedral is in its second year. And Red Hen
Rehearsals will help raise money for Templum House, a local shelter
for battered women and children.
Season 2: 1997-1998
 Theodora:
an Unauthorized Biography
A new play by Chicago playwright
Jamie Pachino, and directed by Harriett Logan, was produced to critical
acclaim at Pilgrim UCC in Tremont in August 1997. Theodora, the 6th-century
Byzantine Empress, began life as a rural peasant and died one of the most
powerful women in history. But no one seems to agree on what happened
in between. Chronicled in her own time by a slanderous volume called
The
Secret History, Theodora has been debated, interpreted, analyzed and
hypothesized about by at least a dozen biographers. They have variously
portrayed her as a courageous leader, a cruel despot, an heroic revolutionary,
and a brazen whore. Jamie Pachino's play attempts to solve the mystery
in a fast-paced and funny examination of the elusive nature of historical
truth. Five historians and the Empress herself take the stage in
search of the real Theodora. The result is an unruly, unpredictable,
and less-than-academic debate that sheds light on some of history's most
crucial issues. The tight ensemble cast featured Zoe Kiefer as the
Empress Theodora, Amanda Shaffer as a modern female historian, and Jeff
Allen, Allen Branstein, Kenyon Farrow, and David Hansen as the bickering
biographers.
FemFest '97
Red Hen's second festival of new
feminist plays was held at Pilgrim UCC in Tremont in November 1997.
Again, we were swamped with scripts, and we chose six to produce in staged
reading format with moderated audience discussions following each performance.
Topics ranged from politics, relationships, choice, art, family and religion,
every one of them with strong women who made strong choices.
Eastside
by Anne E. Ellis (Maryland), directed by Jane S. Armitage. A Christian
fundamentalist mother who violates barrier laws at the women's health clinic
where her daughter works as a Doctor. An explosive, intimate look
at both sides of the abortion issue.
Marla's Devotion by
Linda Eisenstein (Cleveland), directed by Suzanne Snelson. Can a
longstanding lesbian relationship survive if one of the women want to save
the world and the other wants to save herself? A comic one act play.
Fire Damage
by Carolyn West (Pennsylvania), directed by Jason Jaffery. A tightly
scripted ten minute exploration of an irrevocable choice.
When Will I Dance by
Claire Braz-Valentine (California), directed by Karen Gygli. A riveting
story of the final years of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.
Every Little Bit by
Renee Mathews-Jackson (Cleveland), directed by Margaret Ford-Taylor.
An elderly couple care for the feisty family matriarch in this honest touching
play about the daily reality of Alzheimer's.
God, Guilt and Gefilte Fish
by Ellen Orleans (Colorado), directed by Harriett Logan. Seder as
you've never seen it before! Nine lesbians gather to celebrate Passover
and encounter ex-lovers, future lovers, Mary Magdalene and Elijah (just
for starters) in this comic play of holiday chaos.
Mason-Dixon and
The
Second Coming of Joan of Arc
In January of 1998 we presented
two plays by Carolyn Gage at SPACES Art Gallery. Award-winning playwright
Carolyn Gage (whose play Cookin' with Typhoid Mary Red Hen produced
in its last season) was the Artistic Director of No to Men, a radical feminist
theatre company in Oregon from 1989 to 1991. In two years the company
produced nineteen different plays, all written by Gage.
Mason-Dixon, directed
by Michelle Tomko, explores the interface of race, class, and gender between
a white woman and a formerly enslaved African-American woman who shared
intimacies as children.
The Second Coming of Joan of
Arc, directed by Jane S. Armitage
and featuring Zoe Kiefer as Joan, gives voice to a character that is a
far cry from the eroticized and idealized Joan of Anouhil or Shaw.
This Joan is a teenager, a runaway from an incestuous father, a girl with
severe eating disorders, and a lesbian. No longer a martyr and a
victim, this Joan unmasks her betrayers and challenges contemporary audiences
to re-think their preconceived notions about this historical figure.
Fly Gals
In March 1998, Red Hen Productions
and Oberlin College collaborated on a work-in-progress by Beth Campbell
Stemple and Kato McNickle. Jane S. Armitage directed this well researched
a capella musical at the Little Theater at Oberlin College with a cast
of 30 women. Fly Gals is the story of the Women's Air Service
Pilots (WASP's) of World War II and their contribution to the war effort.
The WASP's were founded by Jackie Cochran and Nancy Love, two incredible
women pilots who organized and trained the women pilots, but whose styles
and ambitions were like night and day. WWII was a major turning point
regarding women's changing roles in 20th-century American culture: the
war offered women opportunities that consequently altered the lifestyle
that they were fighting to preserve. This full length play offers
spectacle, inspiration and a history lesson.
Red Hen Reads
Our reading and discussion group
continued in our second season at Loganberry Books in Shaker Heights.
Participants read aloud a play by Australian playwright Sara Hardy about
Virginia Woolf and her lover Vita Sackville-West, Vita!
a Fantasy. We
all wore hats to personify the different characters in the scandalous 1926
play Sex by
none other than Mae West. And we ended the season with Byrthrite
by
the British Sarah Daniels about reproductive technologies and misogyny
in medicine in the seventeenth century.
Outreach
In our second season, we continued
our participation in community events like the AIDS Walk, Dancing in the
Streets, the Pride March, and Walk for Hunger. We also conducted
a summer theatre program for inner-city children at Trinity Cathedral culminating
in a performance by the children for the community.
Season 1: 1996-1997
Playing with Fire: Three Red
Hot Plays About Women
In July of 1996 Red Hen produced
three plays at SPACES Art Gallery by award-winning Cleveland playwright
Linda Eisenstein and directed by Amanda Shaffer.
The Names of the Beast took
place outside on the gallery sidewalk so that actual fire could be used
in performance. Local actors Zoe Kiefer, Victoria Karnafel, Theresa
Dixon and Toni Thayer demonstrated a keen ensemble grace in performing
on an open street, braving mosquitoes, baseball fireworks from the stadium,
and homeless men begging for change, among other things. This unusual
setting enhanced the audience's appreciation of the reality of the play
and its message about coping with adversity.
At the Root often
drew stunned silences as audiences digested the magnitude of someone being
asked to sacrifice their tongue in order to save their child, and by its
bravura performance by Zoe Kiefer.
Running from the Red Girl was
performed by Claudia Tatinge Nascimento (a Brazilian actor formerly of
New World Performance Lab), Amanda Shaffer (our founder and Artistic Director)
and Toni Thayer (founding board member and V.P.). Their skilled physical
interpretation was a crowd pleaser with recognizable personalities and
familiar situations.
FemFest '96
Red Hen's first festival of new
feminist plays was held at the Broadway Free Library and Coffeehouse.
A call for scripts dealing with feminist issues was advertised in The
Plain Dealer and on the internet, yielding 67 plays from as far away
as Australia and Hawaii, and as close as Cleveland Heights. From
that pool the selection committee chose six plays to produce as staged
readings with moderated audience discussion periods, produced over two
weekends in snowy November 1996.
No on 9: A Family Values Play
by Sandra deHelen and directed by Harriett Logan was a comedy focusing
on mother/daughter relationships, lesbianism, young love, gay bashing,
right wing politics and a lost cat.
Small Domestic Acts by
Joan Lipkin and directed by Amanda Shaffer dealt with the complex friendship
between a heterosexual couple and a lesbian couple.
Turtle House by
Carole Clement and directed by Richard Parison showed a young woman forging
her own life by breaking away from her fearful mother.
I Envision a Room by
Lisa Lusero and directed by Jenna Weiss is a play about racism and perceived
differences in culture.
Cookin' with Typhoid Mary by
Carolyn Gage and directed by Joyce Brabner presented issues of authority,
neglect and prejudice about HIV/AIDS explored through an historical perspective
of an Irish immigrant who was incarcerated for spreading typhoid.
Down the Board Road by
Pat Mason and directed by Karen Gygli was about Cajun women learning to
adapt and cope in order to survive and raise their children.
FemFest West
In April of 1997, Red Hen took
two of its one-woman shows to Oberlin College, where they were performed
in an evening of short pieces featuring music, performance art, dance,
readings, and the two featured one-woman shows produced by Red Hen.
Cookin' with Typhoid Mary by
Carolyn Gage was reprised from its FemFest production by performer
Sarah Jackson and director Joyce Brabner.
At the Root by
Linda Eisenstein was reprised from its Red Hen inaugural production in
Playing
with Fire by performer Zoe Kiefer and director Amanda Shaffer.
These Are My Sisters
Martha Boesing, the founder and
Artistic Director of At the Foot of the Mountain in Minneapolis (the longest
running professional women's theatre in the country!), performed her one-woman
show with Red Hen in May 1997 at the Lakewood Civic Auditorium. This
one-woman show was created and performed by Martha Boesing in collaboration
with director and dramaturg Carolyn Goelzer, and is a part remembered,
part invented informal history of the women involved in the second wave
of the women's movement of the 1970's. Five women (all played by
Boesing)--the suburban housewife, the aging hippie, the feminist scholar,
the butch dyke, and the radical political activist--speak about their own
lives, what led them to the women's movement, and what the movement means
to them now.
Red Hen Reads
There were simply too many good
feminist plays to produce, so Red Hen started an informal play reading
and discussion series. Readings were free and open to the public
and met at Mac's Backs in Cleveland Heights, with participants reading
aloud from a script and then discussing it. The first script we read
was But What Have You Done For Me Lately,
a 70's play by Myrna Lamb. In May we read Martha Boesing's River
Journal, and
Game
of Patience by Abla Faroud, a Labanese-Canadian
play exploring themes of war, exile and the power of writing. In
the summer we read the feminist classics
for
colored girls who have considered suicide when the rainbow is enuff by
Ntozake Shange and Top Girls by
Caryl Churchill. Then we ended the season with the uproarious lesbian
comedy by Split Britches,
Little Women:
The Tragedy.
Outreach Projects
In addition to the plays produced
in our first season, Red Hen Productions participated in community events
like the AIDS Walk, Beyond Beijing Women's Conference, Dancing in the Streets,
the Pride March, and the Peace Train with Women Speak Out for Peace and
Justice. Red Hen also toured Cookin'
with Typhoid Mary with
the Cleveland Health Department, with stops at shelters and women's correctional
facilities, and hosted a benefit performance with political satirist Barry
Crimmins.
