The Maggie Tree

Happy International Women’s Day

This is a vitally important day to celebrate and to remember that the struggle continues. That trans women are women. That gender non-conforming folks are vital to the movement. That those who live in the femme are constantly struggling for equity and on a greater level, our lives.

It was an honour to present “The Wolves” by Sarah DeLappe this past season and to collaborate with these fine humans. Art and stories move us forward. It is an honour and a privilege to celebrate women and the femme perspective in our work.
