Fight Like a Girl is a bold and theatrical mosaic of monologues that brings to life the voices of women across time, culture, and circumstance. From scientists and soldiers to poets, pirates, and politicians, each character shares a moment of fierce clarity—when they stood up, spoke out, and refused to be forgotten. Fight Like a Girl is a celebration of historical truth, theatrical imagination, and radical empathy. The characters portrayed in this piece are real people—visionaries, artists, rebels, revolutionaries, mothers, leaders. Their stories emerge from specific cultural, racial, gendered, and historical contexts. Join us for a memorable theatrical experience in a mesmeric historical setting!
