Betty Friedan, Anne Moody, Helen Reddy, National Organization for Women and ... Gloria Steinem. Having spent many fervent hours of our childhood reading the words and following the actions of these women and listening to Dusty Springfield, Petula Clark, and Cilla Black the Weekly Volcano will be in familiar territory at the Tacoma Musical Playhouse when the theater company stages Shout! The Mod Musical. But who was Betty Friedan? In 1963, she published The Feminine Mystique, which explores the idea of women finding fulfillment beyond traditional roles. Since its founding in 1966, NOW's goal has been "to take action" to bring about equality for all women. Shout! will chronicle the liberation of women through the '60s and '70s through the unforgettable music of the time.

SHOUT! THE MOD MUSICAL, 7 p.m., through Feb. 9, Tacoma Musical Playhouse, 7116 Sixth Ave., Tacoma, $20-$29, 253.565.6867
