‘Up close and personal’ is pulling us into stories of our collective humanity. Two new plays debut as part of the ongoing DIVAfest initiative to address the issues that concern us as individuals and as a community. Sing along with J.E. Hibbard's historical play with music, Ballad of the Book Women, and celebrate the spirit of self-discovery in Lucy Fields's, The Divine Alchemists. “The 1960s marked an exciting time for individuality and innovation in America,” reads the Hasbro company post.
