SUFFS Musical Watch Party

Join Lt. Governor Deidre Henderson and the Women's History Initiative for a live watch party of the award-winning Broadway Musical Suffs! The musical celebrates the fight for women’s voting rights, highlighting the tensions in the movement and the strategies of a young generation of suffragists who pushed the 19th Amendment across the finish line.

We'll gather at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center to watch the musical as it premieres on PBS' Great Performances. Utah played a pioneering role in the suffrage movement, and displays and activities at the screening will highlight the Beehive State’s important role in the story.

Come early for light refreshments, interactive elements, and tours of Voices and Votes: Democracy in America, a Smithsonian exhibition on view at the UCCC through May 30.

Refreshments and activities begin at 6 pm, with the screening starting at 7 pm. The show's run-time is approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes, with a 15-minute intermission.

The Women's History Initiative is a program of the Utah Historical Society. Please email kkitterman@utah.gov with any questions.

Voices & Votes: Democracy in America is made possible in Utah by Utah Humanities as part of the Museum on Main Street program.
