by Lou Clyde

Thursday, May 30th at 7pm
in Cloverdale, Montgomery, AL

The Backup Planner is the story of single mother Jan who holds high aspirations for her high school daughter, Sophie. Jan, who is grieving from the death of her own mother, wants Sophie to go to college, while college is the last thing on Sophie’s mind. Jan creates a backup plan for Sophie by applying to college for her. Jan’s best friend Keisha also needs a backup plan since a traditional path to motherhood is not working for her. The Backup Planner is the story of three strong independent women whose goals and aspirations share a common thread.

Nora’s Salon South: “They Must be Women Now!” is February 12th!

Our next gathering of Nora’s Salon South in Montgomery, Alabama is February 12th! We hope you’ll join us for a glass of wine, friendly conversation, and informal reading of They Must be Women Now! by Nedra Pezold Roberts (Wash, Dry, Fold).

Nora’s Salon South: They Must Be Women Now!
by Nedra Pezold Roberts
directed by Jacqueline Trimble

Monday, February 12th at 7pm
at The NewSouth Bookstore (105 S Court Street)
in Downtown Montgomery, AL

They must be women now. A forceful command and an ominous threat. Why do women have to be confined in order to learn their place in society? And how many kinds of prisons have they endured over the ages? Social, economic, religious, political restraints—to name only a few—have restricted women’s growth and empowerment, but toward what end? In a contemporary genesis of Euripides’ Antigone, a family of Southern women struggle to discern what needs to be buried, to understand the difference between the impulse to hide from pain and the strength to lay that pain to rest. These women are shaped by their time, their culture, and their individual journeys. It is their job and their lot to discover themselves—and become women now.
