Woodpecker Lips
HG Women’s Project 2021 Performance and Workshop Series
We are excited to announce plans for the 2021 Hamilton-Gibson Women’s Project!
The goal of the 2021 HG Women’s Project, Woodpecker Lips, is to provide opportunities for women (including those who don’t identify as male) to write, perform, direct, and to tell local stories that will be meaningful to our audiences. The performances will include a collection of original monologues of varying lengths. Each monologue will be about a living or historical local/Pennsylvania woman. Our project’s title, Woodpecker Lips, is inspired by the phrase “She’s tougher than Woodpecker Lips!”
All levels of experience are welcome to participate. Guidance and mentorship will be provided for writers and directors throughout the process via workshops. The project will culminate in a weekend of storytelling and entertainment at The Warehouse Theater in Wellsboro.
