THE GLORIAS at the Grange Hall

Followed by a discussion with director Julie Taymor; Circuit Arts board member Geralyn Dreyfous will moderate

Journalist, fighter, and feminist Gloria Steinem is an indelible icon known for her world-shaping activism, her guidance of the revolutionary women’s movement, and her writing that has impacted generations. In this nontraditional biopic set against the backdrop of a lonely bus on an open highway, five Glorias trace Steinem’s influential journey to prominence—from her time in India as a young woman, to the founding of Ms. magazine in New York, to her role in the rise of the women’s rights movement in the 1960s and beyond.

Julie Taymor is an Academy Award-nominated and Emmy and Tony Award-winning director whose productions range from musicals and Shakespeare plays to classical operas and films. She has been hailed as one of the most imaginative and provocative directors and designers working in the arts today. In addition to The Glorias, her past projects include The Lion King, Frida, and Across the Universe.
