Polisci student and actress Lucy Shea performs in an upcoming play based on poet Eve Merriam's work

Lucy Shea

Polisci student Lucy Shea will be part of the cast of the upcoming play "Out of Our Father's House", directed by Caitlin McDonough, which is part of the student director showcase POWER PLAYS!

Based on Eve Merriam's Growing Up Female in America, this moving play is drawn from the diaries, journals and letters of women: founder of the Women's Suffrage Movement Elizabeth Cady Stanton, astronomer Maria Mitchell, labor organizer Mary Jones, minister and doctor Anna Howard Shaw, and Eliza Southgate. They are seen as they grow up, marry, bear children and face being ostracized for wanting careers.
