Artemisia Theatre
Artemisia Theatre empowers women by producing bold, feminist plays that create opportunities for artists of all backgrounds and identities. Through powerful storytelling, we amplify women’s voices, champion inclusion, and invite all who believe in gender equity to join us as artists and audience members. Our work pushes boundaries, sparks conversation, and strives to build a more just world for everyone.
“Julia Farrell Diefenbach’s crafted direction and her cast’s authentic performances do justice.”
