SWAN Day/Support Women Artists Now Day is an international holiday that celebrates women artists. It is an annual event taking place on the last Saturday of March (Women’s History Month) and the surrounding weeks.
In Washington DC, SWAN days events are organized through the tireless dedication of Catherine Aselford and the Georgetown Theatre Company. On Saturday, March 27, head to Georgetown for a full day of panel discussions, staged readings, performances and films.
At Grace Church, between 1 and 6pm there will be a staged reading marathon of works written and directed by female artists. I'm excited to announce that I will be directing one of the staged readings, Life 101, written by Robin Rice Lichtig and starring husband-and-wife performing powerhouse team Amy Rauch and Christopher Davis.
Amy is long time performer in the DC area, especially in classical roles, starring in productions of Macbeth, Antony and Cleopatra, and Julius Caesar. She can next be seen in Eugene O'Neill's Anna Christie with the Heritage O'Neill Theatre Company.
The face of Chris is familiar to renaissance festival fans in the area, as he has been performing as the Renaissance Man at the Maryland Renaissance Festival for many years. He also tours his shows to local schools, with the goal of making history and literature more accessible and enjoyable, while giving audience members a chance to take a meaningful role in the performance.
