Robin Morgan:
The "otherizing" of women is the oldest oppression known to our species, and it's the model, the template, for all other oppressions.

Rest up this summer; you're going to need lots of energy this fall

Boy, you're out of town for a fortnight, and all of a sudden, small theaters and dance companies decide to announce their seasons. Here's a roundup of who's doing what and when:

Theatre Unbound turns 10: Theatre Unbound, a local company run by and focusing on the works of women, will mark its 10th anniversary with a diverse slate of short works and really, really long ones.

The short subject is "Most Massive Woman Wins," an hourlong show that will be staged as part of the Minnesota Fringe Festival later this month. The marathon is the company's annual 24-Hour Play Project (March 6), in which six short plays are written, rehearsed and thrust onto the stage in a single 24-hour session.

Also upcoming at Theatre Unbound: a pair of short comedies by early women writers paired under the title "Aphra's Attic" (Sept. 19-Oct. 4); a distaff telling of the Jekyll and Hyde story called "Chemical Imbalance" (Oct. 31-Nov. 15); Lisa Loomer's "Expecting Isabel" (Feb. 13-28); and "Medea: A Noh Cycle" (April 10-25).

Except for the Fringe show, all performances take place at the Lowry Lab Theatre in downtown St. Paul. For more information, go to theatreunbound.com.
