HERstory -- Honoring and Celebrating Women through the Ages (World Premiere)

When?
Thursday, Jul 29 2:00PM - 3:30PM PDT

Where?
Online

Description
All of us are well acquainted with the version of the past called History. In this era of the visible empowerment of women, including the election of our first female Vice President, we are offering a rebranded snapshot of the past from a woman’s point of view. 

Allow us to introduce you to HERstory; a unique storytelling about eight women who dared to follow their vision and dreams in times when the world stage was dominated by men.  Each story highlights how two women interacted with each other and were inspired by the other in their lifetime, describing their challenges and successes in their own voices.

After the show we welcome the audience to join us to discuss women's roles through time, for women to share our present-day experiences — our challenges and successes, and to reflect upon the life and legacy of the characters in HERstory.
