Name: Heather Wahl
What is your current project? Unveiling Liberty
Where are you performing your show and why is it a good fit for your production?
Speranza is performing this show for the community and school in the tri-state area in honor of Women’s History Month. We are a women’s theatre company and are thrilled to share the story of the 1886 unveiling of the Statue of Liberty set against the suffragist movement happening at that time.
What’s next for you?
Summer Theatre Camp (ages 5-12) and then our fall production of Women Rising, Stories of Hope. Women Rising is an original play about survivors of domestic violence that will have a run in Jersey City in October for Domestic Violence Awareness month and will also tour to local high schools and colleges.
Any advice for your peers?
Figure out WHY you are doing the work – any work you do – and the challenges will become stepping stones.
