2011 was a
banner year for the Festival. We experienced our most successful Festival since
our inception18 years ago, selling out all but one of our programs – and that
attendance was also good. In addition to a successful Festival, we were
fortunate to have received a grant from the City of Culver City to offer an evening of solo performances for
their residents at The Actor’s Gang
at The Ivy Substation in Culver
City, CA. To our delight, that was a
sold out house, too!
We were able to extend our educational outreach
through, two 12 week storytelling workshops that we offered to senior citizens.
This gave us the opportunity to creatively interact with over 75 seniors thanks
to our two workshop instructors, Ina
Buckner-Barnette who taught Connecting Bridges Through Stories
and Iona Morris who taught The
Storytelling: What Rich Lives We Lead.
As we move forward into this new year, we are
excited about our new partnership with A
New Life, a program that serves newly released women from prison. Through
our partnership, LAWTF will be providing a writing workshop, Magnifying
Your Dreams and Releasing Your Doubts taught by Iona Morris and an acting workshop, Stir It Up - From
the Inside Out! taught by Alma
Collins.
We have received another grant from the City of Culver City so we will again
bring our Los Angeles Women’s Theatre Festival talent to The Actor’s Gang Theatre
housed at the Ivy Substation in
Culver City on March 28, 2012.
Of course, we invite all of you to join us for our
19th Annual Festival: SHINE! that will be held March 22-25, 2012 at the Electric Lodge in Venice, CA. We have a
wonderful, exciting lineup of women solo artists from all around globe
including those from the Netherlands, Canada and from cities around the US that
include those from New York, Florida, Washington, Missouri, and up
and down the state of California.
And, make your resolution to like us on FaceBook.
