In Her Own Words
The Women’s Voices Theater Festival will return to DC in January 2018, after a two-year hiatus! As part of the festival, approximately 30 theaters will feature new works by female playwrights. According to a Washington Post article, organizers sight a troubling statistic as part of the impetus for the festival: only 1 in 5 new works are by female playwrights.
Here’s what we’re doing today:
The Washington region is home to a vibrant arts community from theaters to museums to music venues. As you head into the weekend, share with us one of your favorite venues and/or female artist using #our100days.
