Guerrilla Girls On Tour is an anonymous theatre collective whose mission is to create new plays that dramatize women’s history and address the current state of women in the performing arts and beyond. Our performances use comedic, physical, and vaudevillian-like techniques to prove that feminists are funny. In order to put the focus of our work entirely on the issues we address each member performs under the name of a dead woman artist and wears a gorilla mask to conceal her true identity.

Frankly I'm thrilled to have my piece "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar" accepted into the show, and will be in the catalog. Freeing women from sexism one city at a time is a worthy goal. Women have to recognize they have not be treated equitably first. It is stunning how many don't get that.
