what is festival 2023? what is festival 2023?

WTFringe23 is a performance festival spanning two weekends of the 8th Annual National Women’s Theatre Festival. Our curated fringe festival offers a platform for new & developing works that are experimental, innovative, and collaborative. In other words, productions that push boundaries and embrace parity! WTFringe23 prioritizes accessibility by featuring in-person, virtual, and hybrid performances, each running between 20-90 minutes.

WTFCon23 is a place for our community to connect and learn from and with each other; to advocate for our needs and the needs we see around us; to deeply, intentionally, and thoughtfully explore our work; and to surround ourselves with others who champion gender parity and equity in our field. More than a conference, our goal is for WTFCon23 to be a revitalizing selfenrichment experience for theatre artists and academics: an experience that involves humanity, belonging, and a shared sense of purpose, with opportunities to instigate and incubate

WTFamily is three distinct on site programs to meet your family’s needs while attending Festival 2023! WTFamily23 will comprise of the Opening Doors Camp for ages 3-11 and the Seedlings Nursery Program for ages 3 and under during WTFCon; and Seed Sitters, à la carte onsite babysitting during our WTFringe shows for kids ages 0-13 years.
