Mission and programs · 2025
Mission
We're a theatrical organization committed to female+ leadership through arts and culture with an emphasis on education and performance that uplifts and recenters Jewish, women's, and immigrant narratives through outreach, education, and theater whether via full productions or new play and media development. Previous work includes The Russian & The Jew at the tank (2018), Round Table at 59e59 (TSQ's Best of 2019), and The Matriarchs at Theaterlab (Forward's Best of 2025) with generous support from Venturous Theater Fund, Bronx Cultural Visions Fund, ART/NY, and Elliot Joseph. Producing collaborations include I Came Back For Molly at Theater Row (2026) with the American Playwriting Foundation. Through ongoing readings and full presentations, we cultivate crucial cultural leadership that raises the standards of arts and culture as a benchmark of personal and global development. Liba Vaynberg and Inés Braun are honored to serve in leadership roles.

New play development is something we work on all year round-this year included readings by Liba Vaynberg (playwright of Matriarchs) as well as the toddler play by Helen Cespedes, Fort Knox, Florida by Leigh Flayton, Alice in Bed (with a new foreword) by Susan Sontag under Inés Braun's direction and other readings. We partnered with the American Playwriting Foundation for some of our readings that were more public-facing, allowing artists to directly engage with their audience around relevant themes. We also hosted readings internally and fostered dramaturgical conversations (after readings, led by the artists) to better understand the stage of the play and how it can progress further. We also co-produced a developmental workshop the Hearth (another organization whose mission aligns with ours).

As part of our mission to foster leadership through women's arts and culture, we worked on the short art film SUITE BERGAMASQUE (starring Sharina Martin, Craig Divino, Ali Stoner, and Elia Monte-Brown) directed by Raj Trivedi by helping develop and produce the film along the lines of our organization's mission. This film focuses on a woman who is a pianist, wrestling with her demons around performance and criticism upon completion of a concert in which she played Suite Bergamasque by Claude Debussy. Our set employed a majority of women and furthered women's narratives through sensitive eand three-dimensional portrayals of the questions that haunt artists and audience members alike: did I do the thing well? Is everyone around me lying to me? When do I want to be praised and when do I want to be criticized? And why? The film is complete along with talkbacks and educational components that allow artists and audience to self-reflect.
