Iteration: The Finger by Doruntina Basha (Kosovo)

Iteration: The Powers That Be a Rock Opera
by Deborah Randall and Alan Scott
The Church of SHE is called to takeover the Light of the World church in Mexico. This brand new work evokes contemporary issues of human atrocities as well as absurdities set to pop-culture mockery, poetry, and rock. Eight women take the stage with their instruments and voices and only one purpose, to change the world.

“Venus Theatre has a knack for finding new scripts that make you ache and ruminate all at once—appealing at once to emotion and intellect, deeply, endlessly.
Too Perfect for Words.
- Kelly McCorkendale, DC Theatre Scene”

VENUS THEATRE: BUILD A BRIDGE
Help us reach our first goal - raise artist stipends to $200.
Our people have given so much at Venus. We have produced SIXTY-SIX women empowering scripts and stand among the longest running women's theatre companies in the world. We think it's time we start paying our people more. No amount is to small and no amount is to large.
We hope you will journey over this bridge with us. We've got some pretty big plans ahead.
