The Aphra Behn Play Festival
Bold Stroke for a Villain (Playwright)
The Aphra Behn Festival is named for the fascinating poet, translator, and spy, Aphra Behn, who is widely considered to be the first English woman to make her living as a playwright. SATE produced a play about her, Or, by Liz Duffy Adams, in February 2015 and collaborated with Prison Performing Arts to adapt Behn’s play, The Rover, for the artists at the Women’s Eastern Reception, Diagnostic, and Correctional Center in Vandalia to perform. The Rover was also the text shared by the directors in the 2020 Festival. SATE feels very much a part of Aphra’s legacy.

Gloria: A Life
(Liz & Others)
Decades after Gloria Steinem began raising her voice for equality and championing the voices of others, her vision is as urgent as ever. In this exploration of the iconic feminist's legacy, the first act tells her story , and the second invites the audience to share their own. Gloria: A Life embodies Steinem's philosophy that conversation is a catalyst for change as it celebrates one of the most inspiring women of our time.
