Feb. 10-12. U-M students Emma McGlashen and Sophia Kaufman direct McGlashen’s new play about the 1st generation of women to be educated alongside the men at the U-M in the year 1871. The action, often comic, follows 5 women, each based on a composite of 2 actual women in that first class of 34, as they cope with opposition from university faculty and Ann Arbor locals and a range of reactions from the male students. The play offers a look into the classrooms of early university years, what everyday life was in late 19th century Ann Arbor, as well as the academic and personal lives of students. McGlashen’s script began as research project with fellow student Catherine Audette and RC drama teacher Kate Mendeloff.
