The women who started this theatre company have been in the news recently and I am wondering if anyone has seen a production from them

"The Hearth tells the stories of women.

We nurture and celebrate female and non-binary artists (playwrights, directors, actors, and designers) and develop plays that represent the complex and vast spectrum of womanhood.

The Hearth produces plays that explore female characters who pulse with emotional, intellectual, and psychological complexity.  We seek to challenge stereotypes, advance and complicate the conversation about feminism, and expand perceptions of what it means to be a woman.

We are committed to making room for the next generation of female artists in the landscape of the American theater."

 

Their new play in Brooklyn sounds interesting.  

ATHENA

Mary Wallace and Athena are brave, and seventeen, and fencers, and training for the Junior Olympics. They practice together, they compete against each other, they spend their lives together. They wish they were friends.

If anyone has comments on the play or the company, please report back.
