Next! - by Carson Becker |
Nebraska Next! by Carson Becker, looks at the
moral dilemma at the bottom of the suffrage question - who is
taking care of the home if women are taking care of the community?
The play uses monologue, dialogue, and audience participation
to recreate the suffrage battles waged in Nebraska within the
last century. A forum and guided discussion will follow each performance. |

A Note from Carson
Becker:
"Special thanks to Norma Jean Collins-Orlando for sharing
her amazing political/historical library with me, and to her
late husband Nicky who always supported her in all her radical
directions. And to all the women who contributed to Leaning
into the Wind, a collection of personal accounts from Plains'
women throughout the past century. This book truly inspired
me and I'm indebted to its editors for such an elegant work."
