Strange Ladies
​By Susan Sobeloff
Directed by JanLee Marshall

Musical Director: Becky Potter

Production Dates: September 11-27, 2026 

As the U.S. enters World War I, a group of radical suffragists fight for the right to vote. This diverse group of women struggles to manage personal and political challenges in creating social change. Period protest music weaves through the play, dramatizing the suffragists’ political strategies. First produced by Central Works in 2017, B8 produced Strange Ladies in 2019 and is now remounting the show with its first full ensemble. 

Strange Ladies features local performers Andi Anderson, Jason Berner, Skyelar Clouse, Pam Drummer-Williams, Toniea Hawkins, Sally Hogarty, Annie Larson, Ofeibia Laud-Darku, JanLee Marshall, Ceanna Saatsaz, Samira Sheahan, Lisa Shedd, Asha Sundararaman, Stefanie Suzuki, Jill Wilk, and Maureen Williams. The design team includes costume design by Taśa Gleason, scenic design by Diane McRice, lighting design by Drea Schwartz, sound design by Annie Potter, and dramaturgy by Annie and Becky Potter. JanLee Marshall helms the production as director, Becky Potter music directs, and Avery Burnap leads the stage management team.
