Description
Playbill and Framed Quote from SUFFS - A Broadway Musical by Shaina Taub.
This play is based on suffragists and the American women's suffrage movement, focusing primarily on the historical events leading up to the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1920 that gave some women, primarily white women, the right to vote.[1]
The show premiered off-Broadway at The Public Theater in April 2022. It opened on Broadway on April 18, 2024, at the Music Box Theatre, where it received mostly positive reviews from critics. It was nominated for six Tony Awards, including Best Musical, winning two, for Best Book and Best Score.
5"x7"Framed words from SUFFS
Keep Marching
I won’t live to see the future that I fight for,
Maybe no one gets to reach that perfect day.
If the work is never over,
Then how do you keep marching anyway?
Do you carry your banner as far as you can?
Rewriting the world with your imperfect pen?
'Till the next stubborn girl picks it up
in a picket line over and over again?
And you join in the chorus of centuries chanting to her.
The path will be twisted and risky and slow,
But keep marching, keep marching.
Will you fail or prevail? Well, you may never know,
But keep marching, keep marching.
‘Cause your ancestors are all the proof you need
That progress is possible, not guaranteed.
It ill only be made if we keep marching, keep marching on.
~ from Suffs
