    Honoring Women’s History Month: A Celebration of Strength, Stories, and Sisterhood at LAWTF

    March is more than just another month—it’s a time to honor the resilience, creativity, and contributions of women throughout history. Women’s History Month serves as a powerful reminder of the voices that have shaped our world, from trailblazing activists to visionary artists. At the Los Angeles Women’s Theatre Festival, we proudly continue this legacy by amplifying the voices of women in the performing arts, providing a platform where their stories come to life.

    This year, we celebrate our 32nd Annual Festival, “STRONGER TOGETHER” (March 27-30, 2025), a testament to the collective strength of artists in theatre, dance, storytelling, and more. For over three decades, LAWTF has been a space where women of all backgrounds can share their truths, explore their identities, and connect with audiences through the transformative power of solo performance.

    Representation in the arts is more than just visibility—it’s about ensuring that every woman’s experience is heard and valued. The women who take the stage at LAWTF don’t just entertain; they inspire. They remind us of the struggles and triumphs of generations past while paving the way for future voices. From deeply personal journeys to powerful social commentaries, these performances capture the essence of what it means to be a woman in today’s world.

    As we honor Women’s History Month, we invite you to be a part of this celebration by attending this year’s festival. Whether you’re drawn to compelling solo performances, engaging workshops, or our signature Champagne Gala & Awards Ceremony, there is something for everyone to experience and enjoy.

    Let’s come together to celebrate women’s voices, honor their legacies, and continue the journey toward a more inclusive and empowered future. Because when women tell their stories, the world listens.

    LAWTF’s Post-Election Discussion

    A month has now passed since our highly fought 2024 Election. This blog is a follow-up on our LAWTF Post–Election Dialogue that we held on Friday evening, November 15, 2024. Our Zoom gathering was at once moving, cathartic, and contributed to each participant’s well-being.

    We thank everyone who attended and are also reaching out to those who did not make it.

    As we look forward to this Holiday Season, we at the Los Angeles Women’s Theatre Festival wanted to speak to our community from a place of gratitude and reflection.

    Firstly, we would like to acknowledge the people who exercised their right to vote in this election, not only for the President, but for the equally important local representatives and propositions down the ballot. Voting is a vital pillar of our democracy, and we’re proud of those who exercised their right to vote and by doing so, made their collective voices heard.

    Regardless of our election results, we believe we must stay vigilant and protective of our democracy. It is important to not become disillusioned, complacent, or feel that voting does not matter because it most certainly does!

    Our Presidential elections, while a major part of exercising our personal rights, are only one aspect of our democracy. We citizens are also responsible for ensuring that our elected officials are delivering on their promises and policies that got them into office. Our representatives work for US, both at the local and national level. In addition to voting, we can make our voices heard by letter writing, phone calls, and attending local council meetings.

    Especially approaching the Holiday Season, know that it is perfectly healthy to take time to process and grieve before being called to action. Equally as important as reflection is leaning on friends and family during this time.

    Below are some suggestions LAWTF suggests to take care of ourselves:

    1. Meditation

    2. Exercise

    3. Prayer

    4. Journaling

    5. Yoga

    6. Proper diet

    7. Proper sleep

    8. Communing with nature

    9. Gathering in communities

    10. Writing (both personal and creatively)

    As Michelle Obama has said: “Just Do Something,” but be easy on yourself during this time. The holidays focus on gratitude, so allow yourself love and levity as you gather with loved ones.

    On your healing journey, decide how and when to take action as an artivist.

    We at LAWTF, as a contributing community-building organization, will be right alongside you!
