The Los Angeles Women’s Theatre Project was designed to address the critical need for increased opportunities for women’s voices and perspectives in the Performing Arts, as well as providing educational opportunities and performances that represent women on a broader scale. The LAWTP, is not simply a producing entity. The organization works to educate and support women in their effort to bring live performance pieces to the stage, through networking, referrals, production and promotion, as well as actively recruiting, hiring and training female technicians and designers.
