a very innovative format and had great Q&A too.

Don't miss this special encore performance!
The first show was standing room only - and some people didn't make it in the door!
The powerful personal stories of six women who live
in DC public housing communities are brought to the stage thanks to the
talented script writing of Caleen Jennings and staging of Director Goldie
Patrick.
This special performance is being held in
conjunction with the Washington Area Women's Foundation and will be followed by
a discussion with the audience on our collective hopes and dreams for the next
generation of women and girls.
Space is limited. Please RSVP to Lauren Stillwell
Patterson at lpatterson@wawf.org.
