Founded in 1976 by sisters Lisa Mayo, Gloria Miguel and Muriel Miguel, Spiderwoman Theatre is the oldest continually running women's theater company in North America. Inspired by the Hopi deity Spiderwoman -- who taught the people to weave -- the sisters create theatrical weavings of language and movement. Fantasy and reality, humor and seriousness blend together in this technique of "storyweaving."
Tickets are $5 at campus box offices, or charge by phone at (765) 494-3933. Tickets will be sold at the Stewart Center box office until show time.
The performance is sponsored by departments in the School of Liberal Arts, the Diversity Resource Office, the Women's Resource Office, Convocations and Lectures, the Black Cultural Center, and Purdue Student Government.
There will be a reception following the performance at 9 p.m. in Room 102, Stewart Center.
