Our goal is to create an intersectional Bay Area-wide Women’s Theatre Festival in Spring 2020, which will help to usher in the widely-held gender parity goal of 50-50 in 2020 with SWAN DAY (Support Women Artists Now) at its center. All of the theatre works will be written and directed by theater practitioners who are women+ or non-binary and at least 50% of the performers and the designers will be women+ or non-binary folx. The festival includes: *New plays, devised works and classical plays written by women+ or non-binary playwrights *Full productions produced by participating Bay Area theater companies *AMPLIFY, a 24-hour performance marathon of women+ taking the stage including stage readings, solo works, stand up, short plays, and devised works. *Women of Color Staged Reading Series - a curated reading series of plays by local and internationally known women+ and non-binary playwrights of color, directed by women+ and non-binary artists of color *Classical Staged Reading Series - working in collaboration with Bay Area Shakespeare companies, baWTF will have a series of staged readings of works by women from the Elizabethan era to the 1920s
