PAVE & Bennington Performing Arts Center are excited to present Virtually Indestructible: An Online Evening of Resilience. The evening features a staged play reading about the life of Katharine Graham, followed by a discussion panel of area women with topics to include overcoming obstacles and lifting each other up in times of adversity, as well as available VIP wine tasting packages.

"The Shot" is a staged play reading performed by Sharon Lawrence (Desperate Housewives, NYPD Blue.) It was developed at The Ojai Playwrights Conference, and is a work of fiction based on the book "Katharine Graham, The Leadership Journey of an American Icon" by Robin Gerber, and inspired by the women who generously shared their stories with the playwright. Directed by Michelle Joyner, "The Shot" as it will be viewed is a collaboration born of necessity; when the pandemic struck, the creators found a way to continue the performance via film and decided to use this work to benefit domestic violence agencies across the country.

After the play, a panel of female leaders will chat about how they've achieved success and ways to support each other. With representatives from the play itself, local business owners, non-profit directors, and political leaders, this impressive group of women provides inspiring insight into the heights that can be achieved and the many different paths we take in our lives.

The limited-availability VIP package includes a pre-showing virtual tasting experience with couch + cork and two bottles of wine from McBride Sisters Collection, the largest Black female-owned wine company in the US. Wine will be hand-delivered to guests within 40 miles of 05201. This is a limited offering, so join the experience while it's available!
