Manhattan Theatre Source’s Estrogenius Festival, an annual celebration of female voices, is one of New
York City’s largest women’s arts festivals.
Founded by Fiona Jones in 2000, the festival debuted with a program of 10 short plays and music. Since then, it
has grown into a five-week event including short plays, solo shows, music, visual art, dance, teen performances
and support for African girls’ education.
Completely volunteer run, the Estrogenius Festival has provided more than 1,600 artists the chance to shine;
showcased award-winning playwrights Sheila Callaghan, Quiara Alegria Hudes, T.D. Mitchell and Melissa
Maxwell; presented Bessie Award-winning choreographers Marta Renzi and Jennifer Nugent; and provided
scholarships for girls to attend school in Niger, ranked the poorest country in the world by the United Nations.
We take open submissions from around the world and are committed to providing opportunities to female artists
- in a variety of disciplines - ranging from the emerging to the seasoned professional.
The New York Times raves that Estrogenius
“lives up to its billing as a celebration of women’s work”.
