Mission Statement: WAM Theatre uses theatre to take action for women and girls worldwide. Our philanthropic mission is two-fold. First, to raise funds to create professional theatrical events that explore issues relating to women and girls. Second, to donate proceeds from those events to organizations that turn oppression into opportunity for women and girls worldwide.

Current Work
WAM Theatre is excited to present its inaugural event, ‘A WAM Welcome’, April 9-11, 2010 at the Barrington Stage Company's Second Stage, Pittsfield, MA. This evening of three diverse theatrical selections celebrates live theatre pieces created by women for the enjoyment of all. A portion of the proceeds from this event will benefit Women for Women International, whom WAM Theatre has chosen as their first beneficiary.
History
Inspired by the book ‘Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide’ by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl Wudunn, WAM Theatre was founded in 2009 by Kristen van Ginhoven and Leigh Strimbeck in order to use theatre to take action for women and girls worldwide. www.kristenvanginhove.com, www.leighstrimbeck.com
