**Women in Poetry and Song: The Public and Private Lives of Powerful Women in the Arts: This performance will take a look at passionate women of the song, women who created the song, and women who wrote the poetry — women compelled to remain in the private, bound by their own convictions or by social conventions, and women who ventured into the public, the largely male-dominated world of art. Meet women whose private lives protected their virtue and women in the public whose reputation was open to speculation. In no way an exhaustive list, this performance will be a tapestry of beloved songs and poems and how they connect through the centuries.
