HER|Fest is a community. We bring together playwrights, performers, directors, producers and audiences in a welcoming and collaborative environment where ideas are nurtured, connections are made, and bold storytelling is encouraged.

We celebrate theatre that is courageous, authentic and thought-provoking—stories that entertain, inspire and reflect the richness of our communities. While our focus is on championing women in new writing, we believe these stories are for everyone.

Every performance, every conversation and every audience member plays a part in helping new work take its next step. Together, we are creating opportunities, amplifying voices and ensuring that the next generation of female playwrights has the stage they deserve.

Because every great story deserves to be heard.
