Edison State Community College
Women’s Untold
Stories: An Evening of Music, Dance, and Theater
Music, dance, and theater are coming to the Robinson Theater at Edison
State Community College in Piqua on Thursday, September 22, 2016.
Sponsored by the Diversity Committee as a benefit for the Edison
Foundation’s General Scholarship Fund, the program will feature women
from the college and the community displaying their talents as they
salute girls and women.
At 7 p.m., the show will begin with dancers from the Center Stage
Academy in Troy.
For the evening’s main event, 18 area college students/employees,
community leaders, and teens will take the stage and deliver monologs
in answer to poet Muriel Rukeyser’s question, “What would happen if one
woman told the truth about her life?”
The monologs are original and feature diverse themes from sex
trafficking to emotional and physical poverty to communication lapses.
Following the theater production, the audience and performers will be
invited to dance to the piano music of Brenda Cobbs-Allen.
Admission is free of charge, and those who would like to make
contributions to the Edison Foundation’s General Scholarship Fund are
encouraged to do so.
