Suffs the Musical, is about the suffrage movement in the late 19th to early 20th-century advocating for women’s right to vote. Suffragists, promoted gender equality through protests, marches, civil disobedience and even prison and hunger strikes. The musical focuses on the 7 year fight to pass the 19th Amendment (1920). The show centers around this the tension between the older suffragists and the “younger” ones, willing to fight for their rights and not wait “politely” as well as their tension with women of color. Suffs was nominated for six Tony Awards, including Best Musical, winning for both Best Book and Best Score. Suffs was written by, composed by, and starring Shaina Taub (of our Temple, Central Synagogue).Read more
