WWIT promotes theatre and music projects dealing with political, social and historical issues from the perspective of women+. We respond actively to the political climate in Washington, D.C. giving voice to women+ writers and composers of the D.C. area, and beyond.
Founded in 2001 by Sidra Rausch as a project of her organization Creative Music Workshop, Inc., a not-for-profit [Section 501(c) (3)] school and theatre, WWIT was established in memory of Sidra’s sister, Ronda Schwartz, who died of breast cancer. The first official public performance took place at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in summer 2003. Sidra Rausch and Karen Berman were brought together at playwright Wendy Wasserstein’s workshop and Wendy encouraged their collaboration on women’s theatre. With Karen Berman, a long-time collaborator and friend, as a co-director, WWIT inaugurated the company’s work with premiere staged readings August 11 and 12, 2003.
