Announcing our 2010-2011 Season
We've now scheduled our 2010-2011 season of professional theater, presenting two plays new to Middle Tennessee audiences, and the return of the our annual Women’s Work showcase of performing and visual arts at Nashville’s Z. Alexander Looby Theater. And, we're proud to announce that last year’s successful Warriors Don’t Cry will be touring Nashville area schools.
Women's Work 2010
Thanks to all who attended Women's Work. Thanks too, to the more than 75 artists, writers and performers who made a success of our our fourth annual showcase and celebration of performing and visual arts created by women. We'll be back again next year, bigger and better than ever. We have a ton of photos to sift and post, so check back to see what's new.
And, stay tuned for the announcement of our 2010-2011 season - can't tell you yet, but soon!

Warriors Don't Cry
Warriors Don’t Cry is a riveting one-woman show adapted from the diary/memoir of Melba Pattillo Beals of the Little Rock Nine, by the Pulitzer-nominated playwright Eisa Davis. Following our successful run at Nashville's Looby Theater, we are offering Warriors Don’t Cry to schools and groups in Middle Tennessee. The cost is affordable, and our technical requirements are minimal.
