Broken Nose Theatre Presents Bechdel Fest
Bechdel Fest is a series of eight short plays that pass the Bechdel test: they all feature at least two women who talk to each other about things other than men. A talented cast portrays a diverse collection of stories. With plays ranging from experimental to slapstick, this promises to be an eclectic theatrical performance. Pay what you can. The Den Theater: 1333 N Milwaukee Ave. Sun 9/20 - 9/23 http://www.brokennosetheatre.com/tag/bechdel-fest-3/
