This oral history theater project is an overdue exploration and celebration of Tyringham, Massachusetts’ women. It reflects stories from similar rural towns where women’s voices have been tucked away for generations. Through recorded oral history interviews with a cross section of Tyringham women an original theater piece has been written and will be performed in a site-specific location. The mission is to collect, examine and articulate this group of Tyringham women’s individual and collective experiences.
