ST. LOUIS WOMAN honors the enduring legacy of some amazing female artists who put St. Louis on the map with their timeless music, dance and poetry. LAKA will portray legendary artists Josephine Baker, Tina Turner and Katherine Dunham. In her roles she will also present the poetry of Maya Angelou, the song stylings of chart-toppers Fontella Bass and Ann Peebles, and the Gospel classics of the legendary Willie Mae Ford Smith. Most of these women were either born in St. Louis or came here when they were young, with the exception of Katherine Dunham’s who moved here during the height of their career to continue her momentous work. 

Dance the Vote, an intergenerational non-partisan St Louis-based arts group co-founded by Joan Lipkin, Producing Artistic Director of That Uppity Theatre Company, and comprised of white women and women of color have created several initiatives, demonstrating both creativity and resilience in the midst of the pandemic to use the arts to promote civic engagement.
