PRESS
"As a woman, shouldn’t I know the names of the women who fought so hard for women’s rights? Believe me when I say that this viewing will (hopefully) only be the beginning of my learning experience on the subject. Boasting an all-female cast — yes, even the male characters are played by women — and a mostly female creative team, Suffs drives the point home on all fronts."
- OUT FRONT Magazine
"Thematically, it’s poignant, in today’s political climate, where voting rights are becoming undermined, to have a show like Suffs marching around the country live and on television"
- Playbill
"It’s a brilliant, entertaining way to spend a couple hours. On this historic anniversary of our country, it’s important to remember that things get better when people get involved and demand that they get better."
- Michael Moore, Substack
