The Tank
Produced by Electric Eye Ensemble
New York, NY
February 2017
Written by Sarah Plotkin, Joshua Langman and Emily Johnson-Erday
Directed by Sarah Plotkin
In Memphis, Tennessee we meet the first all-girl radio station, WGAL. It’s 1955 and the "Jockettes" are making radio for women from their studio, the Doll Den. But as time marches forward the shtick gets old and the women want more. What happens when an all-women's station is so good men start listening? Inspired by real events, Welcome to the Doll Den tells a story about masks, identity, and the cost of success.
