Our mission is to bring theatre professionals together with academics and activists. In the years since our inception, WTP has sponsored panels and activities at ATHE’s annual conference. In 1980, WTP began holding its own annual pre-ATHE conference. WTP conferences feature panels, informal discussions, workshops, and performances as a means to foster both research and production of feminist, anti-racist, and queer theatre activities and praxis. WTP conference topics have included the intersection of theory and performance, multicultural theatre, lesbian, queer, and trans-feminist theory and theatre, and many intersectional aspects of feminist inquiry. The continuing goal of WTP is to enable inquiry and practice dedicated to the project of anti-racist and feminist pedagogy and discourse and to provide opportunities for discussion between those who teach, perform, and theorize about feminism, queerness, theatre, and performance.
