Upper School Students Attend ‘Suffs’ at the Pantages Theatre
As a special gift in honor of Archer’s 30th anniversary, Archer treated Upper School students to the Broadway musical SUFFS at the Pantages Theater on Thursday, November 20.
SUFFS explores a struggle for equality that’s far from over, and directly ties to our mission and this year’s theme of Purpose. As Head of School Elizabeth English described at our recent All School Parent Meeting:
“This time last year, I saw SUFFS in New York City. It is the incredibly moving story of the 80-year struggle that the suffragists undertook to gain the right to vote for women in this country. Your daughters need to know that story—that purpose isn’t always easily fulfilled.”
SUFFS won the 2024 Tony Awards for Best Book of a Musical and Best Original Score. It was written by Shaina Taub, the first woman to ever independently win those two awards in the same season.
