Theatre in Her Shoes: Footprints Reading Series

I am not a woman working in theatre. Not being a woman instantly disqualifies me. However, if I were a woman working in theatre, in Toronto or anywhere else, I would be watching this closely and offering it my support (which I do anyway, qualified or not.) Theatre in Her Shoes is a Toronto based Theatre company that aims "to create professional theatre that fosters the growth of the female voice in Canadian theatre, in an inclusive and supportive environment.".

The company's first event The Inaugural FOOTPRINTS Reading Series is coming up on May 2nd at the The Somewhere There Lounge 340 Dufferin Street (1 block South of Queen, Melbourne St. entrance) Doors Open at 7:45pm/ Performances at 8pm. Admission is $5 and "will feature readings of new works by diverse selection of emerging female artists".
The May 2nd installment of Footprints presents selections from:

Steph Berntson's "Home/Quart"
Alison Broverman's "Julia Smells"
Noa May Dorn's "The Caryatids of Modigliani"
Sarah Mackie's "Black Dahlia"
Haley McGee's "Mission Bird"
Stephanie Sinclair's "A Girl Called Blue"
