As part of our Beyond the Stage: PTAC Conversations series, we invite you to a timely panel discussion with Woman in 2025: Perspectives in Art, Culture and Society.
This conversation will explore where women are today — the progress we’ve made, the barriers we still face, and how art, culture and community can help us move forward together.
It’s the perfect complement to our upcoming production of The Front Page: SCOOPED, which flips the script by casting women as men in the fast-paced newsroom world, exposing the gendered dynamics of power and voice. It also builds on the rich female perspectives of Three Tall Women and celebrates the 6 of our 10 London Community Players directors this season that are women.
Join us as we bring together voices from intersectional perspectives from community leaders, educators and activists; all with lived experience.
Panel speakers to be announced soon!
This event is free to attend, but we do appreciate an RSVP to be prepared for seating.
Meet the Panelists for Woman in 2025: Perspectives in Art, Culture and Society
As part of our Beyond the Stage: PTAC Conversations series, we’re thrilled to host a panel discussion exploring what it means to be a woman in 2025. This event brings together voices from diverse communities to reflect on the progress we’ve made, the challenges we still face and how art and culture can be catalysts for change.
This conversation ties directly to our current productions of "The Front Page: SCOOPED", which flips the male-dominated newsroom dynamic by casting women as men, revealing the gendered power structures that still echo today and "Three Tall Women", a Pulitzer Prize–winning drama deeply rooted in female experience.
