Shows at the Arcata Playhouse Aug 30 and 31 , Synapsis Sept1, then we are on tour, Sept 4 at Petrolia Community Center, Sept 5 at Redwood Playhouse in Garberville, Sept 7 at Matheson Performing Arts Center in Mendocino, then back to Arcata at HSU Kate Buchanan Room on Sept 8.

A Womans Place is in Her Home fuses storytelling, media, dance and music, performed by professionals alongside community members on stage for the first time. Jacqueline Dandeneau directs the play featuring Humboldts own Lyndsey Battle, and Dharla Curry, performing original compositions inspired by stories of the unhoused. Over 12 months, the creative team, Jacqueline Dandeneau, Ali Freedlund and Tammy Rae Scott documented the hardship, beauty, resilience, and resourcefulness of women in various states of homelessness, and witnessed the obstacles they face every day. The script was developed with the ensemble to bring the research to life. Many of this exceptional cast have experienced houselessness at some point in their lives. Together, throughout the production process, they shared life stories, prepared meals, broke down, held each other up and developed an extraordinary bond.
