The Off-Broadway world premiere of Shaina Taub's Suffs has been extended a third time, with performances now set to play through May 29. The show began previews March 13 and officially opened April 6 in an unusual move as the performance itself was cancelled due to COVID cases in the company. Performances are set to resume April 12 at The Public's Newman Theater.
Taub shines a light on the forgotten women who fought for women's suffrage in America. Suffs follows their victories as well as their failures in working against the divides and oppression they faced in the years leading up to the passing of the 19th Amendment.
