Mission Statement: Founded in 2000, Airmid Theatre Company produces classic works by women. With these plays at the heart of its mission, Airmid creates a safe home for women artists, igniting broad public recognition of the essential contribution women have made to the worlds of theatre, dramatic literature.

Airmid aims to:
--produce performances of significant dramatic works written by women throughout history,
--engage in the ongoing research and recovery of classic plays by women
--mentor emerging female theatre practitioners
--expand the dramatic canon of works by women for study and production.

By establishing the history of playwriting by women and professionally producing their work with actors of both genders, we open the door to broader discussion on women’s roles today, and in the future.

QUESTION OF MEMORY

by Michael Field (a.k.a. Katherine Bradley and Edith Cooper)

MONDAY, September 8, 2008 @ 7 PM.

1848: Tensions run high in a small Hungarian village not far from a military outpost. The residents thirst for independence from Austria but are forced to mix with occupying officers and do their best to keep the peace. When war is declared, the local regiment is called to arms. All bets are off when an unexpected turn of events shatters the villagers' idealism and the schoolmaster is captured by officers who know him well. Under the stress of interrogation, will he confess all he knows or is it simply a question of memory?

OLD TOWN HALL,

47 MAIN STREET

BABYLON VILLAGE, Babylon, NY.
