We’re excited to share the latest entry in our Author Insights series: “Herstory in the Spotlight: An Author's Journey with Sentinels” by playwright Marilyn Campbell-Lowe.
Whether you’re teaching the play or exploring women’s history through theatre, Campbell-Lowe’s essay is a powerful companion to the script—both an invitation and a call to action. Sentinels, she writes, is about keeping “Herstory in the forefront, before it’s erased.”
