Attucks Theatre 1010 Church St, Norfolk, VA 23510, Price: $32 - $49

Written by Tony Award Winning playwright RUPERT HOLMES
Starring Michelle Azar as Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Directed by Laley Lippard

In this moving, inspiring play, Supreme Court Justice “RBG” welcomes a friend of the family to her cozy chambers to convey fascinating and often funny moments of her life and its many trials: losing her mother the day before she graduated as valedictorian of her Brooklyn high school … being one of only nine young women studying law at Harvard while also raising a daughter and helping her husband battle cancer … fighting for women’s rights in the 1970s… and taking courageous stands for human rights as a voice of reason amid a splintering and increasingly politicized Supreme Court. An evening with a great and compassionate icon of American justice–an RBG who is not only “notorious” but victorious as she takes a stand for ordinary people facing the many challenges of a changing world.

40 Whacks: The Nightmare of Lizzie Borden

April 10 - April 11 2026

7:30 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.
Hunter House Victorian Museum 240 W Freemason St, Norfolk, VA 23510, Price: Price may vary

This event is part of the Norfolk Theater Festival in March-April 2026. Learn more here.

 

In the extremely intimate setting of the historic Hunter House Victorian Museum (Norfolk, VA), Core Theatre Ensemble will showcase their award-winning production like never before. The Lizzie Borden murder case captivated the nation over one hundred years ago and is still considered “one of the most dastardly and diabolical crimes that was ever committed.” Andrew and Abby Borden’s bodies were found axed to death in their home in August 1892; their daughter Lizzie was arrested and charged days later. The case was surrounded by a passionately divided public. The opinion of women and the extent of their capabilities fueled an intense debate concerning her guilt or innocence. Lizzie was ultimately acquitted of all charges due to circumstantial evidence, incompetent prosecution, and the pervading delusion that a “woman is incapable of doing so foul a deed.”
