One of EZTV’s staple programs was a recurring showcase of works by female videomakers. For this program, we’ll present two of these—Lorrie Oshatz’s THE LAST SLUMBER PARTY and Susan Rogers’s GOOD GRIEF—plus John Dorr and Terry Mack Murphy’s early adaptation of Murphy’s play THE OTHER WOMAN starring EZTV founding member Strawn Bovee.
