who we are
A New York City based production team, entirely composed of women.
OUR MISSION
Our goal is to create a space in which voices that are so often underrepresented in the theater and film industries, can explore and create new and daring work. We want to help build a more just, more inclusive world. Our way to achieve this is through storytelling. We aim to make people think, and show them a truth that might be different from their own, but still as true, and therefore universal. We are drawn to producing small stories that are often overlooked. We believe that art should be accessible to everyone. Art should not be exclusive or elitist. We strive to use storytelling as a way to change the perspectives and expand the view of as many individuals as possible.
