Dinner Party

women prior to the advancement of feminism, as previous to this, women were marginalized and rarely recognized as capable of achievements beyond childbirth and housework. As Virginia Woolf explained, anonymous “was often a woman.” Although, some anonymity may be relaxing, the thought of total anonymity is undesirable by any human being. The first flickers of feminism started in 1848, in Seneca Falls, New York at a two-day conference on woman’s rights. Of the almost 200 women and 40 men that attended the convention, 68 women and 32 men signed a Declaration of Sentiments an Grievances, demanding “equal treatment of women and men under the law and voting rights for women.” One hundred and twenty-six years later, Judy Chicago created The Dinner Party, a mixed media installation to celebrate the liberation of women and women artists from the tyranny of anonymity.

This production was held by the Broadway West Theatre Company in Fremont, CA. After some research of Neil Simon, I believe Freeman stayed true to the original intentions of Simon’s playwright while putting together a wonderful production that I could laugh about but also learn from at times. First off, what caught…

I walk into this large dinner party. Everything looks so fancy and beautiful. As I walk in there are others coming in wearing only rich clothes and diamond jewelry. We are all told to take a seat and to sit quiet. I hear this conversation that has nothing to do with the fact that we are all supposed to be here and have a nice dinner.
