Hubbard Hall Presents: The Susan B. Anthony Project This Weekend

CAMBRIDGE — Hubbard Hall presents “The Susan B. Anthony Project,” a new play with original music by Bob Warren about Susan B. Anthony, Mary Hubbard, Sojourner Truth, and the legacy of the Suffrage Movement today. The play will feature three professional actors, a band and a small chorus of local public school students. 

The new play was created with over 250 students in Cambridge, Greenwich, and Hoosick Falls, who attended in-school workshops with Hubbard Hall teaching artists to learn and write about Susan B. Anthony, the Suffrage Movement, Sojourner Truth and Women’s Rights today. 

The Susan B. Anthony Project runs Oct. 16-18, with regular shows at 6 and 8 p.m. Friday, 2 p.m. Saturday, and 4 and 6 p.m. Sunday. Special fundraiser performance at 6 p.m. on Saturday. Tickets are $25 for the regular run and $200 for the fundraiser at 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 17, and can be purchased on hubbardhall.org or by calling 518-677-2495, ext. 314. Space is limited to only 50 participants.

Additionally, at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, the venue will celebrate the local legacies of Susan B. Anthony, Mary Hubbard, and the Women’s Suffrage Movement. NY Assemblywoman Carrie Woerner is expected to unveil a new history marker in front of the Hall celebrating the opening of Hubbard Hall in 1878 and the Women’s Suffrage Convention held at Hubbard Hall with Susan B. Anthony in 1894.
