Casting Note
While being a piece that celebrates the Women’s Suffrage movement, it also confronts the segregation and racism of the movement as well and was conceived to be performed by a very multicultural cast (I.e.: Actor 4 and 9 having their 1st language being non-English, and Actor 2 being Black), and having even more diversity in the cast is encouraged. You should also feel free, as suggested, to inhabit the cast with both female-identifying and nonbinary actors.
