In 2026, the Dramatic Women will support RBG: OF MANY, ONE, written by the acclaimed Suzie Miller, and directed by Priscilla Jackman and Heather Mitchell.

This powerful one-woman play tells the story of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the second woman appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court. A trailblazer for justice, a defender of gender equality, and a fierce advocate for reproductive rights, Ginsburg’s legacy is explored through her landmark wins, her bold dissents, and the defining moments that shaped her remarkable life. This production will bring you right into the room with Ruth, where history was made.

Join Dramatic Women in 2026 and continue to help support women in theatre.
