All Her Power: 50th Anniversary of Princeton Undergraduate Coeducation Theater Project, presented by the Lewis Center for the Arts’ Program in Theater.
Live premiere December 18, 2020 at 7:00 PM (EST), and available on-demand starting December 19
The first undergraduate co-ed class arrived at Princeton University in the fall of 1969. In celebration of this milestone in 2019, the Program in Theater facilitated journalistic research by three generations of Princeton women—current students, professional artist alumnae (Gwynn MacDonald ’87, Whitney Mosery ’08, Ronee Penoi ’07, Cara Reichel’96, Marisol Rosa-Shapiro ’07, Najla Said ’96, Jill Sigman ’89 GS ’98, Kay-Megan Washington ’88), and the first generation of graduating women (Alice Eve Cohen ’76, Tina De Varon ’78, Vera Marcus ’72, Debra Meloy-Elmegreen ’75, Helena Novakova ’72, Carla Gail Wilson ’71, Helen Lee Zia ’73)—to culminate in a theatrical event exploring the experiences of women at the University. Students were paired with professional artist alumnae to research and create new, short performances about women who graduated from Princeton in the first few years of co-education at Princeton. The process, led by Program in Theater Director Jane Cox and Lecturer in Theater and Princeton alumna Suzanne Agins’97 working with student-alumnae pairs, culminates in a filmed archive of the work in collaboration with theater and visual arts alumna Milan Eldridge ’20. A live conversation with the project team follows the livestream.
