It has come to our attention that there will be a 10K race in Central Park on June 8 that will disrupt our planned itinerary. We have made the decision to move the walk to the North Woods. The date and time will remain the same, but our new meeting location will be the Charles A. Dana Discovery Center, on the north shore of the Harlem Meer, inside the park at 110th Street and Malcolm X Boulevard. (Take the B or C train to Cathedral Parkway/110th Street or the 2 or 3 train to Central Park North/110th Street.) Thank you for understanding, and we hope you enjoy the tour of the North Woods.

The tour will begin at the Charles A. Dana Discovery Center, on the north shore of the Harlem Meer, inside the park at 110th Street and Malcolm X Boulevard. (Take the B or C train to Cathedral Parkway/110th Street or the 2 or 3 train to Central Park North/110th Street.) The tour will end at 100th Street and Central Park West. There are some steps and steep paths.

How will they do it
when it’s never been done?

Following a sold-out extended run at the Public Theater, Suffs arrives on Broadway this spring—and not a moment too soon. From the singular mind of Shaina Taub, this “remarkable, epic new musical” (Variety), coproduced by Hillary Clinton and Malala Yousafzai, boldly explores the victories and failures of a struggle for equality that’s far from over.

It’s 1913, and the women’s movement is heating up in America, anchored by the suffragists—“Suffs,” as they call themselves—and their relentless pursuit of the right to vote. Reaching across and against generational, racial, and class divides, these brilliant, flawed women entertain and inspire us with the story of their hard-won victory in an ongoing fight. So much has changed since the passing of the Nineteenth Amendment more than a century ago, yet we’re reminded sometimes that we need to look back in order to march fearlessly into the future.

WHAT: Performance of Suffs: The Musical, hosted by Laura M. Gellert ’93
WHEN: Tuesday, May 14, 7:00 p.m.
WHERE: Music Box Theater, 239 West 45 Street, New York, NY 10036. Please meet Laura Gellert at the entrance to the theater at 6:45 p.m. She will hand out tickets. Late-arrival tickets will be left at the box office.
HOW MUCH: SOLD OUT! $125 per ticket. In addition, we would appreciate club dues to support Club programming for Bryn Mawr alums
