Want to get out of this heat and see a great play? Audiences and reviewers love "Bull in a China Shop" by Montgomery Playhouse - and there are only two more opportunities to catch it. “The revolutionary spark and passion of the women in 'Bull in a China Shop' serve as a much-needed reminder that our history cannot be ignored — it is a mirror of our lives now, a warning of what happens if we resign to silence, and a call to action to never back down from a revolution.” - Isabella Artino of DC Theater Arts

"Bull in a China Shop" is a powerful fast-paced story that will make you laugh; it will hopefully make you want to be a part of a revolution and make your own change; and maybe even make you tear up. Inspired by the real love letters between Mary Woolley and Jeanette Marks from 1899 to 1937, this play by Bryna Turner takes a deep dive into the ambitions and trials of two q***r women.

DC Theater Arts said all five actresses in this all-women cast brought energy and passion to the stage, further highlighting the themes of female empowerment and revolution. MD Theatre Guide called it both entertaining and informative. Come support live theatre, the fabulous actresses and crew, and LGBTQIA+/Queer art and stories!

Recommended for ages 15 & up (adult language and intimacy). At the Arts Barn through June 22nd, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 PM, Sundays at 2 PM. Info & tickets: https://gburg.md/41qTszn.

“The Montgomery Playhouse production is both entertaining and highly informative. […] Vanessa Markowitz’s direction smartly speaks to the time period without sacrificing a more modern overall theatrical vibe. The cast is to be commended for their insightful portrayals and interpretations of characters whose struggles were in many ways foundational to the women’s movement in America.”

Mary Woolley isn’t exactly a well-known historical figure. Most would be hard-pressed to say who she was. Still, her life and legacy make for absolutely fascinating theatrical material. In playwrig…

“All five actresses in this all-women cast brought energy and passion to the stage, further highlighting the themes of female empowerment and revolution. Cassandra Redding delivered a performance that was both boisterous and vulnerable as Mary Woolley, illustrating how a rise to power also brings a rise in conflict, especially for a woman.“
