SILENCED
HERstory Counts is a company which is about creating a platform for diverse perspectives in story telling. HERstory Counts is a social justice movement focused on the out loud representation of those who are systematically (and systemically) left out of textbooks, left out of curriculums, left out of legislature Left out. HERstory Counts is a response to the silencing of female-identified womyn whose stories belong in the world. We are a company featuring true stories, performed by the creators themselves offering a space to challenge and push past the ideals of the status quo. We feature and celebrate female-identified womyn of all backgrounds, all ages, all races, all histories, all sizes, all sexual orientations, and all abilities.
SILENCED is our first production as a Theatre Company. Each monologue bleeds into the others weaving tales of love and forgiveness, of bravery and freedom.
