Monday: our University Partnership comes to life!

This fall, Hedgepig partnered with Adelphi University to engage their students:1. Performing full productions of one-acts by historic women writers

2. Through a workshop on expanding the canon and working on these texts

We’re delighted to showcase some of that work on Monday, with one of those full productions coming to our NYC stage for Classics in Short!
