May's Vote: a Livestream Performance

A live streamed performance, followed by a live commentary and Q & A. Get free tickets here. 

Prim and proper Emma Smith DeVoe and outrageous, flamboyant May Arkwright Hutton worked side by side -- but seldom eye to eye -- to win the vote for women in Washington State in 1910. Suddenly May is gone, and Emma can’t get her out of her mind!

On Thursday, April 15th the Port Townsend and Jefferson County Libraries will present May’s Vote, a play by Toni Douglass about the two women who led the campaign that won the vote for women in Washington in November 1910. The program is being presented in honor of that anniversary and of the 2020 centennial of the 19th Amendment.

Join us online for this play about these two fascinating women from Washington’s past. The actors will give a brief live introduction before the performance and will then be available to answer your questions in what we expect will be a lively post-play discussion after the show.

May’s Vote is produced by Key City Public Theatre in Port Townsend.  It is funded in part by the Washington State Women’s Commission and the Washington State Historical Society through the Votes for Women Centennial Grant Program.

May’s Vote is performed by Denise Winter and Barbara Callander.

The program will be live streamed get free tickets here.
