SUMMARY:Riot Grrrls: Measure for Measure 
DESCRIPTION:Shakespeare’s most provocative play takes the stage in an all-female production that lets the original text speak—sharp\, witty\, and uncomfortably timely. When Vienna’s long-ignored morality laws are suddenly enforced\, a young novice named Isabella finds herself caught between silence and sacrifice.   \nUNCW Theatre is producing an all-women’s version of Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure as part of the Riot Grrrls series. The production takes on patriarchy\, justice\, and abuse of power — themes that feel especially urgent right now — with women playing every role.  \nWhat makes this especially compelling is that it gives young women the chance to play roles they wouldn’t normally get to touch in Shakespeare — judges\, dukes\, corrupt officials\, and even clowns. Seeing those female voices and bodies in parts written for men changes the way the story lands.  \nPerformances are 7:30pm Thursday-Saturday\, and 2:00pm Sunday\, from September 25-28\, and October 2-5\, 2025.\n
