We Should Know Her: Mary Anning

TSR, in partnership with the Episcopal Actors' Guild, will present in August:

THE INCONVENIENT MIRACLE:

A MYSTERIOUS BIRTH MUSICAL

When Abigail, the most popular girl at school and a self-described prophet, declares that Vanessa Rosales, the lone atheist, will be the next Virgin Mary, Vanessa responds by punching Abigail in the face. This lands her in detention with Sister Florence, the last remaining nun on campus, who has been begging God for any sign of His existence. Vanessa may be the miracle Florence is looking for, but not in the way either of them expected. The Inconvenient Miracle: A Mysterious Birth Musical is a wholehearted musical exploration of faith, the unknown, self-identification, consent, choice, and healing friendship in a broken world.

Performances will take place on Thursday - Saturday, August 11 - August 27 at 7pm. Tickets ($25-$35)

The performance will run approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes, including an intermission.

In preparation for next Friday's Salon about little known women in history, I'm introducing our featured ladies! First up,

MARY ANNING
AKA The Princess of Paleontology

Mary Anning (1799 - 1847) was an English fossil collector, dealer, and palaentologist. Despite having no formal education and struggling financially most of her life, she has become one of the most celebrated fossil collectors in history. During her time, she was well-known in geological circles throughout Europe, often consulting on issues of anatomy and collecting. However, because she was a woman, she was not allowed to join the Geological Society of London, nor did she receive full credit for her scientific findings until well after her death.

Join us Friday 5.19 @ 7pm in giving Mary Anning a voice.

Keep an eye out for the next woman! Until then, if you missed the last salon, HUNGRY by Lia Romeo, I've posted a clip of the performance. Check it out!
Cheers,
Ria as The Skeleton Rep
