The free performance, directed by HCC theater professor Pat Sandoval and history professor Diane Beers, will be hosted on Zoom on Thursday, starting at 6:30 p.m. in conjunction with Holyoke’s Wistariahurst Museum. First performed in 1995 to celebrate the 75th anniversary of women’s suffrage, the play by Rosemary Knower dramatizes the debate leading up to passage of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote.
