Lists of Promise 

Lists of Promise is an original work created by Lisa Giobbi and Ildiko Nemeth that combines classic theatre and ungrounded aerial movement elements in a powerful mediation on the history of women in the world. It is inspired and informed by texts including “When God Was a Woman” by Merlin Stone and “A Room of One’s Own” by Virgina Woolf and original writing by Marie Glancy O’Shea.

Lists of Promise is presented by The Long Point Fund and Bill and Maura Haney and made possible by funding of New Stage Theatre by the New York State Council on the Arts.
