This year’s Greater Good season explores powerful true stories that examine courage, agency, justice, and the impact of ordinary people taking extraordinary action. Audiences will experience Predictor, the remarkable story of the woman who invented the first home pregnancy test; Conscience, a gripping political drama about speaking truth to power; The Wash, honoring the Black laundresses who fought for labor rights in 1881; and Raising Twelve on a Nickel and a Prayer, presented in a heartfelt concert version about love, family, and perseverance. We produce a full season of theatre inspired by real people and real moments, inviting audiences into experiences that deepen understanding and spark conversation.

Auditions
Powerstories welcomes performers of all backgrounds throughout the year. Auditions are posted with clear, simple details and offer artists the chance to join us in telling meaningful, authentic stories. Our process is open, accessible, and designed to support performers at every level.

Beyond the Story
Beyond the Story invites audiences into the world behind each production before it reaches the stage. These conversations explore the history, themes, and lived experiences that shape the work, offering a thoughtful look at how stories evolve from idea to performance.

Greater Good Gathering
The Greater Good Gathering brings speakers and community partners together for events directly connected to the stories in our season. Each gathering highlights resources, perspectives, and real‑world issues reflected in the production, creating a bridge between what happens onstage and what’s happening in the community.

Voices of Women Theatre Festival
Playwrights can submit to the Voices of Women Theatre Festival, now going into its seventh year and featuring original full‑length plays and short works by women from local and national communities. The festival continues to grow as a home for women writers whose stories deserve to be seen and heard.

INKubator
INKubator nurtures new work by giving women playwrights a space to develop short pieces with audience feedback. Each year, women from the Voices of Women Theatre Festival are selected to further develop their works with our playwright‑in‑residence and share them in an intimate showcase for a live audience. INKubator is a creative laboratory where women writers can test ideas, refine their voice, and grow their craft in a supportive environment.

Girlstories Leadership Theatre
Girlstories Leadership Theatre is a year‑long creative program where rising middle school girls explore acting, writing, directing, and design as they turn their own true stories into original theatre. Through monthly workshops, they build confidence, leadership, and collaboration while shaping an original production together. The season culminates in May 2027 with a fully staged performance created and performed by the girls themselves.
