Bechdel Fest 8
Broken Nose Theatre presents Bechdel Fest 8: Realign, a festival of short plays featuring femme, female-identifying, nonbinary, transgender and queer actors playing characters who talk about subjects other than men. The festival references the Bechdel-Wallace Test created by cartoonist Alison Bechdel that asks whether an entertainment work features at least two non-male identifying characters in conversation about something other than a man. Many of the immensely talented artists involved in this season s festival have been signed on since last spring, back when we were expecting to host the event in-person during the summer, said Broken Nose artistic director Elise Marie Davis in a prepared statement. The fact that they graciously and enthusiastically stayed onboard as this year s lineup was pushed back, and ultimately pivoted to becoming digital, is enormously exciting to the Broken Nose family and myself.
