The dramatic presentation of the life of Myrlie Evers begins on the horrific night her husband, civil rights leader Medgar Evers was assassinated on the driveway of the family home.
The Iconic Women Theatre Series
The Iconic Women Theatre Series is a selection of plays that present the life story of woman that have not fully received the historical recognition they deserve. Call Me Mrs. Evers is the newest addition to the series.
Special Thanks to Colorado Creative Industries & NEA
Colorado Creative Industries and the National Endowment for the Arts awarded a grant to playwright Mike Broemmel to broaden the public exposure of his play Stand Still and Look Stupid. Another happy outcome of this generous support has been markedly increasing the number of people who are seeing the plays of the Iconic Women Theatre Series on public stages and in schools.
