The untold story of the first black woman to run for President of the United States. They called her Fighting Shirley in the 1960s and 70s as she faced off against the political machine. Shirley Chisholm left a legacy but she paid a price.
Ingrid Griffith (SAG/AFTRA, Dramatist Guild)
Ingrid is delighted to participate in the Rogue Theater Festival and to present her new one-woman show, Unbossed & Unbowed, a story inspired by the life and times of the icon/trailblazer Shirley Anita (St. Hill) Chisholm (www.unbowedunbossed.com). "I've been moved to write and share Shirley Chisholm's story in the hope that we will become aware of her contributions and appreciate how her voice resonates today."
Griffith has been in off-broadway theatrical productions in and around New York City. Some of her favorite roles are: Lady Reveller in the 18th century play, The Basset Table by Susanna Centlivre, Mrs. Muller in John Patrick Shanley's "Doubt", Hedda Gabler in Henrik Ibsen's "Hedda Gabler; various characters in Eve Ensler's "Vagina Monologues; and Elaine Mays in Anna Deavere Smith's "Twilight: Los Angeles". Ingrid has been performing her award-winning solo show, Demerara Gold, for the past five years throughout the U.S. and abroad. "I'm drawn to tell stories about the immigrant experience, being an outsider. "I'm interested in social norms and cultural barriers that keep girls and women down, and celebrating women's empowerment."
