“As theatre artists, we are storytellers and influencers, and we have a lot to say. Our work collectively reaches millions of people. Every decision we make matters. We are all participating in the cultural moment that is inspiring a groundswell of new feminist language…Our job, the people in this room, is to keep telling stories that put dynamic women at the center and to keep challenging the status quo of what those women look like.”
