I came across SheNYC Arts, showcasing women writers and theater artists across the country, out of curiosity and love/ support of art, I got the All-Access Pass. My first show is Fort Huachuca which featured five African American women enlisted in the army to train as nurses. Simple story with complex issues of racism and sexism. Sad, unfair treatment yet full of love and hope. I like the closing poem and spirit, we’re always rising…No matter what, nobody can take away what we believe who we are.
I enjoyed the story without (& no need of) big budget, fancy special effects or super stars but genuine humanity. I look forward to watching more in the series and I’m proud to be a supporter. I hope one day, in true equality, neither gender, nor race would need to be called-out.
