You probably know by now that I am a co-founder of Pipeline Playwrights here in the DC area. My friend Pat’s play opened last week—a beautiful production!

Set in a village in West Africa, where long-held religious beliefs collide with the rights of women and girls, we see one mother risking it all as she pits herself against extended family, religion, and tradition to save her children.

Tickets available for the limited run.

On April 6th, my play It’s My Party! had its big screen premiere!

The Harvard Woman’s Club of Harvard, Massachusetts shared a video viewing with members of the League of Women Voters, the Harvard Council on Aging, and others in their community. I Zoomed in for a lively discussion with the audience. We all had a great time!

If you have a group that would be interested in hosting a screening, reach out to my producers, pipeineplaywrights@gmail.com, or me: ann@anntimmons,com.
