Preparations and planning are in full swing for the Los Angeles Women’s Theatre Festival’s Emerald 20^th Anniversary.

In just a few short weeks some of the most amazing actors, dancers, vocalists, storytellers, poets, and performance artists will take to the stage at the Lily Tomlin/Jane Wagner’s Renberg Theatre in Hollywood for what can only be described as an unforgettable series of performances.

Expect to see new faces along with some old favorites.  With themes such as “Speaking of Men”,  “Keeping it Real!” and “Not for Children Only” there promises to be a little something for everyone.  

Now, on one hand we don’t want to give the whole thing away, but on the other a sneak peak never hurt anyone, right??!!!
