AWWP Presents works with professional theater companies, school districts, university theater departments and other groups such libraries, coffee houses, or any organization interested in bringing the writings and voices of AWWP's women artists to live audiences.
Staged performances are planned throughout the U.S. and internationally over the next two years in large and small venues from San Francisco to Kabul. If you are are passionate about freedom of artistic expression and human rights, then we want to hear from you!
Join us to help bring the voices of women artists, so long silenced, to a worldwide audience: silenced no more.
