Riot Grrrls: Measure for Measure  

by William Shakespeare   

directed by Christopher Marino

Riot Grrrl -noun   /ˈrī-ət ˌgərl/   -  A woman in a Shakespeare play who talks back, takes up space, and ruins a powerful man’s day—on purpose.  

Shakespeare’s most provocative play takes the stage in an all-female production that lets the original text speak—sharp, witty, and uncomfortably timely. When Vienna’s long-ignored morality laws are suddenly enforced, a young novice named Isabella finds herself caught between silence and sacrifice.
