Setting the Stage: How to Host Your Reading

• Choose Your Venue: This could be anywhere! A cozy living room, a public library, a classroom, or even outdoors.
• Gather Your Audience: Reach out to friends, family, coworkers, or community members. This reading is for everyone, regardless of political views, age, or background.
• Assign Parts: Good Lazy Women features historical figures like Victoria Woodhull, Shirley Chisholm, and Margaret Chase Smith. Assign parts ahead of time to volunteers or encourage audience members to step into the roles on the spot. Consider having diverse readers to reflect the message of inclusivity and representation.
• Create the Atmosphere: Consider lighting, music, and snacks! An environment that sets the tone for reflection, historical gravity, and empowerment.
