On Her Shoulders
Click on the SHOULDERS to make an INSTANT DONATION to support this series of readings of plays by women from the past!

New Perspectives Theater's program in association with the New School for Drama, begins its second season with a staged reading of A Fool of Fortune by Martha Morton on Wednesday, 2/19Admission is FREE to the public!  
A Fool of Fortune is an 1896 Wall Street melodrama that still resonates today as we are challenged with another "Gilded Age". Morton focuses on two "national follies" popularly skewered on the stage: the reckless pursuit of wealth by speculation and the hunt for titled bridegrooms. The play is directed by Melody Brooks; dramaturg Sherry Engle delivers The Play in Context, introducing the script in its historical time and place at the top of the evening. She is joined by a unique guest-Ms. Martha Morton herself (in the person of Karen Eterovich)!  
Doors open at 6:30pm; The Play In Context begins at 6:45pm and the reading starts at 7:00pm. The performance is at the New School, 66 West 12th Street (Auditorium formally called Tishman).
