Jessica Link of Cedar Rapids and Curtis Jackson of Chicago portray women’s rights activist Susan B. Anthony and abolitionist Frederick Douglass in “The Agitators,” Jan. 24 – Feb. 16 at Riverside Theatre.
It’s an Iowa premiere of a play that tells the true story of the 40-year tempestuous friendship between these two icons of the fight for equal rights. In addition to the performances, there will be special talkbacks after the Sunday shows which will include playwright Mat Smart, as well as local scholars from the University of Iowa, African-American Museum of Iowa, and the League of Women Voters.
