Remiss in only just posting this now. Women's Voice's Theater Festival "To highlight the scope of new plays being written by women, and the range of professional theater being produced in the nation's capital, more than 50 of the Washington, D.C. region's professional theaters will join together to present the Women's Voices Theater Festival. Led by the area's premiere theaters, including Arena Stage, Ford's Theatre, Shakespeare Theatre Company, Studio Theatre, Signature Theatre Company, Round House Theatre and Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company, these organizations will each present at least one world premiere of a play by a female playwright during the six week period between Labor Day and Halloween, along with special events, panels and workshops to celebrate and support the work of women theater-makers." Many of the first round of plays are closing this weekend (Oct 2,3,4) or the following weekend (Oct. 9, 10, 11), but many more are also opening and running through November. So plenty of opportunities to see some locally produced theater! We saw Texts&Beheadings/ElizabethR (created and directed by Karin Coonrod) at the Folger Theater. A four woman play based on text from the Folger's collection of letters written by Queen Elizabeth I to highlight key moments of her life. Very well produced and enjoyable. And we were able to get half price tickets...$15 per ticket for theater in DC!
