Subversive Comedy "No Pants in Tucson"
In the new subversive comedy, “No Pants in Tucson,” The Anthropologists’ draw upon blatantly bigoted state laws from the 19th and 20th centuries that made it illegal for women to wear pants in public. With a creative and producing team of women, non-binary, and transgender artists, they excavate historical newspaper articles, legal text, and photographic archives to unmask the real lives impacted by these archaic laws. The world-premiere of “No Pants in Tucson” begins November 5 with a special ASL interpreted performance on Wednesday, November 10. For the past 13 years The Anthropologists have been centering women’s experiences and elevating historically marginalized voices. From the immigrant housewives of the Lower East Side in 1917 to Egyptian garment-workers planting the seeds for the Arab Spring, their research-based plays put strong female narratives at the forefront.
