Women Across the Water: How British and American Women Won the Vote

Cecelia Otto

A transatlantic virtual performance celebrating women in song and story, featuring Cecelia Otto and Fiona-Jane Weston!

<h2>The International Virtual Event is Back By Popular Demand!</h2><h3>Join Cecelia “Cece” Otto and Fiona-Jane Weston for a virtual journey into the history of the Suffrage Movement, filled with songs, stories and unique insights into how the struggle played out simultaneously in Great Britain and the United States—with music providing an unlikely bond between women activists separated by an ocean, but united in purpose. Cece and Fiona-Jane have been entertaining audiences in their native countries (America and the U.K., respectively) with fun and informative historical music performances, and this special event finds the two performers joining forces to bring their complementary styles to a transatlantic audience.</h3><blockquote>NOTE: This performance will broadcast live 12pm PDT/3pm EDT/8pm BST, so plan accordingly for your local time zone. To ensure a true virtual theatrical experience, this event will not be recorded.</blockquote><p><em><strong>For our 2021 &quot;Women Across the Water&quot; series, we are using a &quot;Pay What You Can” pricing model to reach more of our community.
