The Women's Theatre Project is planning its third edition of 'Girl Play,' a three-day festival of staged readings of short plays with lesbian themes, for June 24-26.
But first the company, in collaboration with the Gay and Lesbian Community Center at the Pride Center at Equality Park, is presenting two free workshops this weekend featuring award-winning playwright Carolyn Gage.
Tonight at 7:30, Gage delivers a lecture and performance workshop on lesbian culture. Winner of the 2009 Lambda Literary Award in drama, Gage will invite audience members of all abilities, genders and orientations to act out scenarios from lesbian history and culture.
On Sunday at 2 p.m., she will use 30 minutes of scenes from her play Ugly Ducklings to deliver an anti-bullying message, exploring harassment and homophobic policies at a girls' summer camp. Gage and others will also have a panel discussion on the issue.
'Girl Play,' three different programs of short plays, happens at 6:30 p.m. June 24-25, 2 p.m. June 26. Admission to those readings is $15 for each program.
All events take place at the Pride Center, 2040 N. Dixie Hwy., Wilton Manors. For info, call 954-462-2334 or visit the Women's Theatre Project's web site.
