Building on the initiatives of SheNYC Arts and the festivals held in New York City, Atlanta, and Los Angeles, SheDFW brings that vision to North Texas.
The festival features works created by women, trans and nonbinary voices of Texas for the weeklong festival. The festival runs Tuesday-Sunday with four productions all held at Lyric Stage Studios in the Design District.
The festival will include the premiere of The Martyr, about a queer couple at an all-girls Catholic school during the 1950s written by nonbinary/genderfluid lesbian Leo Rodriguez.
