A message from Kate Campbell Stevenson, Singer, Actor, Producer, women’s activist devoted catalyst for women’s issues, families, and communities. Ms. Stevenson has starred in over 30 Broadway musicals produced in regional theaters throughout the U.S.

I want to share with you several opportunities in the coming two months to join me in celebrating women and their achievements through my Amending America: How Women Won the Vote performances here in the greater Washington Metro area. Some events are benefits others are free.... I'll list them in chronological order with short descriptions and links for more details. I hope you'll be able to attend, enjoy my show and support the many wonderful women's organizations featuring my performances. Thank you for supporting and celebrating women!

Celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Women Winning the Vote!

Kate Campbell Stevenson uses music and theater to be an agent of change and to tell the story of the early 20th-century fight for the ratification of the 19th Amendment in a one-woman performance.

Yes, women have come a long way – but a better understanding of women’s history and their struggles empowers us all for the future. The featured women are Abigail Adams, First Lady and early women’s rights activist; Rose Crabtree, Council Member of the 1920 All-Female Town Council of Jackson Hole, Wyoming; Alice Paul, early 20th-century suffragist and co-founder of the National Women’s Party.

Amending America: How Women Won the Vote fills in some of the gaps in suffrage history, and challenges today’s audiences – particularly women and young girls – to become more active participants in the local, state and national political process. For women’s voices to be heard, more women need to run for office, serve on committees and learn how to advocate for issues they feel are important to improve our society, whether it’s on local, state or national level.

Background info on Kate Campbell Stevenson, singer/actor/producer/ women’s activist devoted catalyst for women’s issues, families, and communities. Ms. Stevenson has starred in over 30 Broadway musicals produced in regional theaters throughout the U.S.

One review among several:
Kate's on-stage personality transformations were awesome! With each transformation, you eased the audience from one period in history to another, allowing us to briefly visit with each of the historical women role models that you brought into the room.

Thank you for your consideration. I hope to see you at one of my events to recognize and celebrate women who have contributed to the status of our lives today.....and hopefully will inspire you to continue their work to bring more equal and higher standards to our future lives and that of our children and grandchildren.
