Award-Winning Play “Truth Values: One Girl’s Romp Through M.I.T.’s Male Math Maze at WSU” on April 16!

In 2005, Lawrence Summers, then president of Harvard University, suggested that women are less represented than men in the sciences because of innate gender differences.

Truth Values is one woman’s brilliant—and entertaining—response. Writer/performer and “recovering mathematician” Gioia De Cari brings to life more than 30 characters in a true-life tale that offers a humorous, scathing, insightful, and ultimately uplifting look at the challenges of being a professional woman in a male-dominated field. Truth Values won an Overall Excellence Award for Best Solo Show at the New York International Fringe Festival. ADVANCE at WSU and the Women’s Resource Center are co-sponsoring this event on April 16, 7 p.m. at Jones Theatre.

FREE ADMISSION!  Registration required at www.advance.wsu.edu.
