General

Seeking a few more actresses to perform in “Ladies’ Day, the Musical” by Kirby Gosnell. This show is a
collaboration between Historic Beverly and North Shore Players.

This is an on-going production planned to perform through September 2021 at various locations, dates
and times. If current Covid protocol remains, the first performance of this season will be at Hale Farm in
Beverly, MA on May 21, 2021.

Ladies’ Day is a historical revue about the women’s suffrage movement which began in 1848. On Aug.
18, 1920, Tennessee became the final state to ratify the 19 th Amendment. Ladies’ Day recreates the final
72 hours of rallying tactics and arguments from both the suffragettes and anti-suffragettes.

ROLES:
Some of our previous cast has remained with us. However, we do need at least two roles filled: one pro-
suffrage and one anti-suffrage. More would be welcome.

There will be a mix of on-line and in-person rehearsals. The acting rehearsal schedule is currently
Wednesday evenings on Zoom. Music rehearsals TBD.

“Ladies’ Day” live theater performance ​


Ladies’ Day created by Kirby Gosnell

Ladies’ Day portrays the final rallies and meetings of the women’s
suffrage movement in Nashville, Tennessee as the Tennessee State
Legislature considered ratification of the Women’s Suffrage Act, 19th
Amendment to the United States’ Constitution in August 1920. Ladies’ Day
presents the political propaganda and arguments on both sides of the
topic, as they would have been presented to the public in 1920 and was
developed using authentic speeches and propaganda songs from the
suffrage movement.

This production, a collaboration between Historic Beverly and the North
Shore Players,  will take place outside on the lawn at Hale Farm.
