Women’s VOICES Theater Project
The Women’s VOICES Theater Project began in 2019 in response to a study by the Dramatists Guild, which found that only 22% of the plays produced in the U.S. in the previous three years were written by women. Its continuation is inspired by VOICES’ founder Barbara Reese, and is in effort to provide a stage, a page, and a microphone for local women to feel heard, feel seen, and feel a sense of belonging.
