participant feedback

“Without programs like this one, which help to forge connections and build talent, we will not be able to achieve equal representation on stages.”

- Emma Gibson (She Writes Alumni)

“Radical Acts exemplifies the creativity and impressive reach Theatre Works have been able to achieve for their She Writes collective. She Writes is unique in the sessions offered during Radical Acts.”

- Michelle Lee (She Writes Alumni)

“Politics Aside was a play that originated as one simple idea from a generative writing workshop Vivian Nguyen attended as part of the She Writes program. From the perspective as dramaturge engaged independent of the She Writes program I had a unique opportunity to observe the program from outside of it. The nurturing and structure provided to Vivian during that year enabled her to write a full draft of a new play. Yet the journey is not as clear cut as that. The ongoing connectedness of the program allowed Vivian the creative freedom to play with ideas behind the text, to listen to passages read aloud with other writers, to discuss the complexities of her research and any grapplings of form and story, and ultimately contributed to the building of a company of actors and artists to bring the play to life in its early days through the Radical Acts play festival.”
