"I was always the weird kid that 'talked too white.' But then going to DragonCon with all my nerdy friends, I was always the black kid. I would never quite fit in in whatever group of people that I was spending time with. Getting used to that and embracing that is kind of my journey."

The Weird Sisters Theatre Project's brand new producing team launched their inaugural season today with an announcement of 2017 productions.

Playwright Lauren Gunderson said that any theatre company, group, or person who wants to do a reading of The Taming - A New Political Comedy (The Taming) on Inauguration Day 2017 can do so for FREE - so The Weird Sisters Theatre Project, Synchronicity Theatre, and 7 Stages have "elected" to take her up on her offer!  

The Weird Sisters are passing the wand to the next batch of Atlanta's finest, up-and-coming female producers After 5 years of critical acclaim and sold-out shows, the original producers/founding members of The Weird Sisters Theatre Project are passing the wand to the next exciting, up-and-coming group of power-house female artists. The producing team that brought you such gems as Anton in Show Business, Five Lesbians Eating a Quiche, Emilie: La Marquise du Chatelet Defends Her Life Tonight, and last summer's world premiere comedy Hot Pink, or Ready to Blow, are stepping down from their roles as producers. In the vein of the company's mission to foster and cultivate opportunities for women in the arts with a commitment to producing works by women for everyone, they are excited to bequeath their power and responsibilities to the next outstanding producing team. The Founders (Kelly Criss, Veronika Duerr, Jaclyn Hofmann, Megan Rose Houchins, and Tiffany Porter) will stay on as Board Members and avid supporters!
