The festival's producing artistic director Judy Zocchi commented in a press statement: "I am excited by the response from theater leaders around the country who are attending this summit, and I look forward to our powerful group giving birth to new collaborations that will help to move the needle closer to equality for women in the theater. "The focus is not to talk about or analyze the challenges but to highlight the solutions," she continued. "From established projects with notoriety to smaller grassroots origins, the synergy of the evening should be powerful."
