The Northwest Theater Project presents the live theatrical premiere production of "Cultivating the Queen" on Saturday, September 7 at 7:00 p.m. at Gesa Power House Theatre. "Cultivating the Queen" is an irreverent and comical examination of the female bawdy politic, in which a secret society investigates how Queen Elizabeth I was able to maintain power in a man's world. Drawing on text from Shakespeare's canon, this new play looks at the complications faced by women in power.
