Playwright's Theatre

The Third March, or Beth

by Dawn Branch 04'

Directed by Ann Muse 83'

“The Third March, or Beth” reimagines “Little Women” through Beth’s eyes, unsettling the idea that she was ever simply shy and good, and asking what it costs to go unseen by the very people who love you most. The reading will be directed by Ann Muse ’83, a Hendrix alumna and retired professor who previously chaired the college’s theatre department.

A discussion with playwright Dawn Branch and contest judge Keegon Schuett will follow the reading; a reception in Mills Lobby will close out the evening. Schuett, this year’s contest judge, is a gender-nonconforming playwright from Memphis, Tennessee, whose play “This Dry Spell” won the 2024 Yale Drama Series.
