The Women’s Company
“Happy girls are the prettiest”
― Audrey Hepburn
The Women’s Company is a theatre production company offering work that explores themes of intersectionality and feminism.
The Company’s inaugural production was the acclaimed Off-Broadway hit, Love, Loss, and What I Wore at the Regina International Fringe Theatre Festival in 2017. The show received critical acclaim and was widely loved by the audience, who helped us raise nearly $1000 for The Canadian Cancer Society and The Regina Transition House. In 2018, The Company toured the production through Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Alberta, ending at the Edmonton International Fringe™ Theatre Festival. For their performances in Edmonton, The Company was honoured with three BroadwayWorld Awards and was nominated for an additional five.
In 2020, The Company began on work on an audio adaptation of Agatha Christie’s The Man in the Brown Suit inspired by the Republic film serials of the 1940’s and the classic radio adventures of the early 20th century. The Man in the Brown Suit was recorded and edited entirely in isolation before premiering in the summer of 2021 as part of the Globe Theatre’s Art Out Loud Festival.
In 2023, The Company partnered with Be Kind Rewind Productions to present “Annette is a Bimbo!”, a new musical by Carson Walliser inspired by Annette Funicello and the Beach Party movies. The Company’s first original production, “Annette!” was presented as part of The RISER Project, a national expansion of the collaborative producing and incubator model created by Why Not Theatre and presented by Why Not Theatre in partnership with On Cue Performance Hub.
