Farewell, Thalia's Daughters

"Now, let us take our leave of plots and story-telling, if you please..."
~Joanna Baillie's The Tryal

So we're down to our last class of Women Onstage in the Long 18th Century... it's been fun guys, thanks for a lot of good discussions (and digressions)! I look forward to our upcoming private theatrical, in which Brenna will play a hobo on a balcony.
Cheers!
