Provincetown Dramatic Arts is presenting its annual Women’s International Theater Festival April 26 – 28, continuing the tradition of ten- minute plays by local women playwrights. Featured playwrights this year are Brigid Moynahan, Candace Perry, Lynda Sturner, and Margaret Van Sant.

The Women’s International Theater Festival will open its twelfth season on Friday evening, October 13, with a production of A Woman’s Heart, a play in poetry by Judith Partelow. The festival is held in conjunction with Women’s Week Provincetown, which has put the spotlight on creative women through theatrical, musical, and other cultural events in annual celebrations for more than 30 years.

Judith Partelow’s play explores a woman’s emotional life as she faces the challenges of child-rearing, career, love, and loss. Three female actors represent the story’s heroine at different stages of her journey, and a single male actor assumes multiple roles. The actors are Cynthia Harrington, Lee Roscoe, and Rod Owens, as well as the playwright herself. Partelow’s language has been called, “funny, sexy, gutsy and vulnerable.”
