Women Stage the World is a new initiative from the Advocacy Committee of League of Professional Theater Women(LPTW) targeting ticket-buyers and theatre decision-makers, to support and create awareness of gender equity for theatre women.

Visualize teams of costumed women, representing Women Stage the World, advocating for professional theatre women wherever theatre people convene and wherever theatre-goers gather.

We members of the League of Professional Theatre Women, dressed as our famous theatrical foremothers, are launching a campaign to bring women's voices to the world's stages.

Women writers/directors/designers/choreographers/actors/stage managers and producers are under-represented in the theatre globally.

With your help we will start the conversation about how to get women working in the theatre in the same numbers as men. With your help audiences will hear and see women's stories onstage.

Her play, "Re-Upholstered," won a Netty Award and was published in The Southampton Review.  She's an MFA student at Stony Brook University and a member of the Dramatists Guild, the League of Professional Theatre Women and Playwrights Gallery.

Salon Solo {Radio} Azania Steady

Few people are born with the gift of instantly touching people's hearts with their voice. Azania is one of them. Originally from Sierra Leone, West Africa, this award-winning, multi-cultural artist was born and raised in the U.S. & in Geneva, Switzerland. Azania's captivating voice, powerful energy and warm charisma make her a phenomenal performer and a joy to see on stage. She has performed hundreds of concerts around Europe, the U.S. and in Asia. In Paris, she won first prize in the French T.V. competition “Graines de Star” which was the first French show similar to 'American Idol'. As a songwriter, Azania’s lyrics are often enriched with uplifting and positive messages, and she is presently composing her highly-anticipated new album, full of soul and
powerful songs.
