Broken Nose Theatre has announced the full line-up for BECHDEL FEST 6: REVOLUTION, an annual festival inspired by the Bechdel-Wallace Test. Created by cartoonist Alison Bechdel, the test asks whether a work of entertainment features at least two women in conversation about something other than a man.

Presented as part of Steppenwolf’s LookOut Series, BECHDEL FEST will play three performances only July 29, 30 & 31 at Steppenwolf’s 1700 Theatre, 1700 N. Halsted St. in Chicago. For more information visit brokennosetheatre.com.
