The Women of Paris (The Secrets of Mata Hari)

Writer: Paul K. Smith
Director: Ioan Ardelean

Paris. 1917.
We meet Mata Hari. Marie Curie. Colette.
We meet them as women reclaiming dreams they've shelved.
Reawakening hidden selves. Breaking free. Finding their wings to fly.

Marie Curie harnesses science to save wounded young soldiers.
Sarah Bernhardt gives acting lessons to a courtesan.
Isadora Duncan creates modern dance.
Coco Chanel invents the little black dress.
Each woman creates separate social roles. Roles at war with each other.

Breaking free of convention brings down the wrath of society:
One woman is shot for doing forbidden things.
Yet they survive. They prevail.
Along the way, these women also create Paris.

Emerging Artists returns with their one-of-a-kind festival. Visit the theater any evening during this three-week event, and you'll find yourself transported in a number of surprising ways: by a single performer embodying a whole host of characters; by a more experimental theater piece "done differently" that challenges and delights; by a cozy two-person show exploring relationships; or perhaps by a bouncy new musical that will have you humming. Emerging Artists has always been about new works, new talents, new voices. That's never been more evident than now.

NO REFUNDS will be granted.
