CANCELED: A Number of Women
This show has been canceled. In 1869, Sophia Jex-Blake, along with six other women, enrolled at the University of Edinburgh, an almost impossible task in and of itself. Over the next four years, the women would face institutional barriers, angry mobs, and ultimately be refused their degrees by the University in 1873. Three years later, women were eligible for licensure after the passing of the Medical Act of 1876. In…

A Lot to Unpack Here
“A Lot to Unpack Here” is a PowerPoint comedy show that spends your valuable time unpacking everyday things like The Beatles, dog poop signs, and Tupperware.

A Latte of Love

Development of this project is supported through Cannonball 2025’s Philadelphia Theatre Company Text and Dramaturgy Cohort.
