Even without a home, Powerstories Theatre still finds time to amplify ‘Voices Of Women’

“We do not want to be erased after 22 years,” the theater company’s founder, Fran Powers, told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay at the time. “We are not just nameless property zones CG and RM-16. We mean something and have value to our community.”

Still, the nonprofit company is giving back and wrapping its “Voices of Women” festival this weekend, showcasing local and national plays from both seasoned and new playwrights (including “Searching for Abuelo” by Gretchen Suárez-Peña, pictured).

And since Powerstories is searching for a new home, theater fans can support this endeavor either at the Fringe Theater in Ybor City or from their couch thanks to streaming festival passes and tickets that allow them to view any show six times. A playwright Q&A happens on Sunday, July 23.

Powerstories Theatre’s 2023 Voices Of Women festival runs through July 23, and screenings start at just $14.99. For access to all of the festival’s programming, weekend passes can be purchased for $45.99.  Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
