This panel presented papers on the mostly neglected \u201cSisters of the Provincetown Players\u201d in accord with the conference topic, as migrants, highlighting the ability of these artists to physically and metaphorically cross borders. Travelling the world, the women from the Provincetown Players were inspired by their lives as expatriates. The sense of re-location and dis-location was infused into their writing which dealt thematically with the notion of migration or which played with this notion by incorporating formal displacements. Sharon Friedman and Jeffery Kennedy presented on geographical border-crossing in Susan Glaspell\u2019s, Rita Wellman\u2019s and Djuna Barnes\u2019s plays by considering the \u201cEuropeanness\u201d of some of their American plays. Special attention was given to the migration of forms with Marie-Pierre Maechling analyzing Susan Glaspell\u2019s shift from drama to the short-story in her adaptation of <em>Trifles<\/em>, and Drew Eisenhauer examining how Zelda Fitzgerald and Djuna Barnes incorporated theatricality into their novels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEmotions on the Move in Susan Glaspell\u2019s One-Act Plays (1915\u20131917),\u201d Nieves Alberola Crespo, Universitat Jaume I de Castell\u00f3<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho\u2019s \u2018100% American\u2019?
