Women's Words week continues on Sept. 19, 20, and 21 with a weekend of staged readings at the Center on Halsted, 3656 N. Halsted. The readings, all written and directed by women, focus on lesbian themes and characters.
The weekend begins on Friday, September 19, for a staged reading of a contemporary lesbian classic - Patricia Kane's Pulp, a gritty and witty play about the shady lavender menace known as lesbianism.
On Saturday, Sept. 20 and Sunday, Sept. 21, four new works by the finalists of the Women's Words contest will be performed. Attendees will meet women of mystery and women with history; women with tools and women who don't suffer fools; women who dance and women who take the "man" out of romance.
