Event Details
Presented by the CT Women's Hall of Fame!
Once barred from the stage because it was seen to be “dangerous” and “immoral,” women have struggled to find their place in the spotlight for centuries. Sophie Tucker faced discrimination due to her weight & Jewish heritage and Katherine Hepburn struggled to take roles that defied stereotypes. Marian Anderson became a reluctant icon of the Civil Rights movement simply for doing what she was trained and loved to sing before an audience. Help us put the spotlight on the Connecticut women who found a voice for change in the performing arts.
