APA Actor's Rep Presents
The Sweet Science of Bruising
Nov 30 and Dec 1
'When that bell rings, your life is entirely in your hands"
London, 1869. Four very different Victorian women are drawn into the dark underground world of female boxing by the eccentric Professor Sharp Controlled by men and constrained by corsets, each finds an unexpected freedom in the boxing ring
As their lives begin to intertwine, their journey takes us through grand drawing rooms, bustling theatres and rowdy Southwark pubs, where the women fight inequality as well as each other. But with the final showdown approaching, only one can become the Lady Boxing Champion of the World. An epic tale of passion, politics and pugilism.

We need your help!
Please consider signing up as a volunteer to help support our kids and this program. We can't do it without you.
We are still in need of ushers, telegram sellers, box office and green room assistants - there are lots of open spots.
Please remember to LOG all your (and your family member's) valuable volunteer hours on this Google form https://forms.gle/Ft9HJV7R5UUoJFkf6 as often as you like once you have completed tasks. Typical hours include time spent at Guild meetings (count as 1hr each), working all our wonderful shows/events, fundraisers, tech dinners, double tech dinners and instructor support/help etc. Guild Board members should also include all those hours planning and implementing Guild business. Truly EVERYTHING you do is appreciated and all of it counts! As you know, we ask that every family volunteer a minimum of 25 hours per student, per school year, in any capacity you choose
