WOMEN AT WORK

A SOUL-STIRRING SHOWCASE OF UNTAMED STORIES.

The Roots and Wings Project Theatre Company and The Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture proudly presents WOMEN AT WORK, a transformative evening of works-in-progress plays by BIPOC femme writers, Directed by Larryjean Powell.

This event will feature excerpts from groundbreaking plays by powerhouse writers in various stages of development. This ongoing series has been a launchpad for incredible new works, including Kristina Wong’s Pulitzer Prize-nominated SWEATSHOP OVERLORD, and continues to provide a space for artistic growth and audience feedback.

WOMEN AT WORK is a crucial part of the Roots and Wings Project's mission to dismantle oppressive structures and uplift the voices of the unnamed, unknown, and misunderstood. The event will offer a safe and creative space for writers to nurture their craft, receiving both support and constructive feedback as they navigate the ongoing challenges of a misogynistic society.

The evening will open up with a violin performance by Alma Cielo, and an incredible Live Painting by Alfie Numeric. The evening will feature a diverse lineup of talented writers, with works that delve into the complexities of women’s experiences in today’s world. Each piece is an exploration of truth, survival, and resistance, offering a glimpse into the voices that have long been silenced or overlooked.

"It is critically important to provide a platform for works-in-progress by BIPOC femme writers, as our voices have been left out of the narrative for too long. WOMEN AT WORK not only gives these stories visibility but honors the messy, vital creative process, of offering writers the support they need to shape their work and bring new, powerful narratives to the world." – Jesse Bliss, Founder/Artistic & Executive Director of The Roots and Wings Project
