- Thursday, March 5, 8 pm, Friday, March 6, 8 pm, and Saturday, March 7, 3 pm and 8 pm, Minor Latham Playhouse (Milbank Hall 118)
- Fefu and Her Friends, written by María Irene Fornés, originally premiered in 1977. Nearly fifty years later, the play’s reckoning with the weariness and unexpected pain of life, especially for women, remains bitterly familiar. The story features eight women—all college friends—gathering to plan a fundraiser for elementary education. As the afternoon wanes, they tangle the often brutal complexity of their lives. Traveling from Minor Latham Playhouse to various spaces in Milbank Hall, this fresh take by director Alice Reagan considers how Fefu’s timely message may shape how “we can reorient to the mission of Barnard.”
- Friday, March 6 through Sunday, March 8, various locations on Barnard campus
- The Athena Film Festival, held annually at Barnard, is a diverse and refreshing exploration of women-driven films, dissecting the “intersections of gender, power, culture and society.” Come relish various narratives and documentaries, alongside panels and filmmaker Q&As.
