The Arizona Women's Theatre Company is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to producing work that reveals women's lives and documents women's experiences. We are committed to nurturing women artists and providing an innovative forum for women's voices.  Whether this be in the production of recently published plays by women or our own Pandora Festival, which celebrates unpublished stories by Arizona women writers, we believe strongly in our mission to have women's voices heard.  We are the only theatre in Arizona to focus on women playwrights and directors.  Founded in 2003, we have produced five successful seasons of contemporary, provocative, thought-provoking  plays written by women.  We've tackled thorny issues that have resonated with our audience: women and immigration, civil rights and social justice, aging mothers cared for by daughters, women as victims of war and women struggling to be well, both mentally and physically.

We've presented plays by writers whose voices don't often get heard because...only 17% of plays produced in the U.S.A. are written by women.  But, we know from each season's Pandora Festival that production doesn't begin to tell the story of women and writing.  Together we can make sure that women's voices get heard---and that we all get to learn, laugh, and cry while seeing great new stories come to life in the theatre.
