Countdown To Festival 2012

 

19^th Annual Los Angeles Women's Theatre Festival 

Presents 

"Shine!"

March 22 – 25, 2012

 

Wow! It's that time of the year again when the Los Angeles Women's Theatre Festival (LAWTF) is in the midst of preparing for our 19^th Annual Theatre Festival. This year, we are thrilled to have 24 multi-cultural and multi-disciplined women artists from around the globe who will bring their solo shows to the stage. We are delighted that we will once again present these gifted performers at the Electric Lodge in Venice, California. Each year, we review numerous submissions and using very competitive criteria, select those we feel are "the best of the best." 

In our selection process, we look for outstanding talent, diversity of voices. relevance and impact of subject matter, and quality of submission presentation. Needless to say, this is not an easy assignment.

This year's theme is appropriately titled, "Shine!" It represents the brilliance of our performers as they share their stories of battling cancer, abuse, identity and other themes. It embraces the song that bursts forth in joyous celebration from overcoming obstacles to laughter that sends the soul soaring.

This is our 19^th Annual Festival, which has become a tradition during the last week of March each year as we honor and give voice to extraordinary women. Between now and the Festival, we will spotlight on our blog our artists and celebrity hosts who will be joining us on stage in "Shine!"
