Presented By: Rashida Costa
October 4, 2026 | 1:00 PM & 4:00 PM
Set in a 1950’s hospital setting, this is play about women who are kept from advancing in their careers. They are forced to work menial jobs with very little career advancement or forced to be barefoot and pregnant at home, while men dominate the workforce. The story takes place at the height of the polio outbreak in 1952 in Brooklyn, New York. Dr. Saleem, along with her colleagues, is eager to serve and come to the rescue of the vulnerable and very ill individuals during this crisis. She is challenged and her decisions questioned by her nemesis Dr. Emman, her male counterpart, who is from the superior ideology that female doctors are inferior and incompetent and have no place in the medical field besides washing trays and bedpans. He creates a world of chaos and is a terror to the female staff.
In the Stonzek Studio Theater – Limited Engagement Series
The show is approximately 75 minutes, with no intermission.
TICKETS: $30
(plus $5 processing fee per order)
