The Weird Sisters Extend their Family
by BWW News Desk - September 12, 2016
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!
