/////
From Georgeanna (playwright & director),
"Before the 19th" began in a room of 15-ish high school students who had gathered to create a mystery about . .. something. That was all we knew. In the end, we created a fictional piece set in 1904 where a group of society young women debate the issue of equal voting rights. It originally premiered in January of 2017, right after the 2016 presidential election. One of the actresses stood on the stage with tears in her eyes and said that she had voted for the first time that previous November while archival footage played of women voting throughout history. That moment cemented what I have always loved about storytelling: it's an honor to give voice to someone's story. I've voted in every election I could since directing this show. I trust the cast members will do the same. I'm forever grateful to the people who worked for women's rights to vote, and may we all ensure that access to all our citizens."

The Epilogue
youtu.be/B6MOsWysOwo
A word from React theater's youth on the historical context of the 19th Amendment.

//////
The first half of Track 26 Epilogue is an arrangement of the suffragette anthem "The March of the Women" (1910) composed by Ethel Smyth, with lyrics by Cicely Hamilton. In the second half of the tune, I meld the March of the Women theme with the La Folia chord progression and meter that appears throughout the score. It becomes a La Folia variation on the March of the Women theme.
