In 1881, Black laundresses in Atlanta led a strike weeks before the International Cotton Exposition came to town. Demanding $1/dozen pounds of laundry, the Atlanta Washerwomen’s Strike of 1881 was one of the largest, successful interracial labor strikes of the post-Civil War era.
The Wash by Kelundra Smith offers an intimate and often funny look at ordinary women who went from workers to fighters and won. With humor, heart, and history, her play celebrates ordinary women who discovered extraordinary strength, transforming from workers into fighters and ultimately changing the course of labor rights in the South.

Predictor by Jennifer Blackmer tells the remarkable true story of Margaret “Meg” Crane, the woman who invented the first home pregnancy test in 1967. What began as a simple idea in a pharmaceutical lab became a revolutionary tool that gave women privacy, autonomy, and answers in their own homes.
This sharp, funny, and surreal new play takes audiences inside Meg’s whirlwind of imagination and determination as she battles corporate resistance, societal expectations, and her own doubts. Moving fluidly through past, present, and future, Predictor is both an absurdist comic romp, game show, and a heartfelt exploration of what it means to fight for agency in a world determined to silence you.
