Playwright Feature
Germaine de Staël (1766-1817)
The German salonnière
“Madame de Staël” followed in her mother’s footsteps, hosting salons for the literary and political elite. A widely-published author throughout her life, she wrote novels, plays, literary criticism, and was best known for her political and philosophical essays. Her writings, as well as her patronage as a salonnière, shaped the emerging ideology of Liberalism and the art movement of German Romanticism.

From Our Friends
A timely new show from New Perspectives Theatre Company weaves together three stories: the achievements of the Federal Theatre Project; the ground-breaking work of its fearless leader, Hallie Flanagan; and the political consequences, which encompassed the breaking of racial and social barriers and earned the disapprobation of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC).
