Los Angeles Women’s Theatre Festival (LAWTF) will present solo performers live on stage for our 32nd Annual Festival

“STRONGER TOGETHER”

Empowering Voices of Solo Female Performers for 32 Years.

Festivities begin on Thursday, March 27, 2025 with our Champagne GALA and Awards Ceremony that honors powerful female voices in theatre. NOTE: Please visit Eventbrite page https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1123333493719?aff=oddtdtcreator for tickets. Our powerful line-up of performers and events will span a 4-day, 6 program Festival, March 27 – March 30.

Our diverse 2025 performers will again transport our appreciative audiences as they touch hearts, tear eyes, tickle funny bones and transport our audiences beyond their own experiences as they share their diverse stories.

Join hands with us during this milestone celebration as we continue to empower female solo voices.
