WeWomen Play Festival November 16, 2026

This fall, WeWomen returns with six new plays that question, celebrate, and push the boundaries of feminist storytelling.

OUR FALL FEST IS BACK, BABES, and six bold new plays are taking center stage.

The 2026 WeWomen Play Festival is three days of staged readings, new feminist work, and opportunities to meet theatre artists. Before readings and talkbacks, we’ll host networking events for artists and audiences to connect, talk shop, and maybe find their next collaborator.

Save and see ALL the readings AND networking events with our 3 Day Pass!
