What is The Bible Women's Project?

The Bible Women’s Project is a theatrical piece telling the true stories of several 

young Christian women as they intersect with stories of women in the Bible. This

 show combines storytelling, dance, music, improvisation, comedy, and moments

 of raw honesty. The play features women from the Old and New Testament. The play focuses on both untold stories and heard stories told in fresh ways. This piece was created to fill a void we had noticed within the church as well as theatre. When we tried to find plays about these women, we came up empty-handed.

WHO ARE WE?

We are a group of women coming from a variety of backgrounds with the shared 

experience of Christianity and womanhood. While most of us had heard the standard stories about the incredible men in the Bible, many of us realized we didn’t 

know much about the women, leaving us without role models or personal 

connections to the Word.  We did not know what to expect when we first opened

 the show in 2015. The response was overwhelmingly positive. After our very first 

performance, audiences were asking us to bring the show back and take it on tour. We immediately extended our run and then revived the show 6 months later. In 

2016 we were accepted into the New York International Fringe Festival and spent

 two weeks performing at the SoHo Playhouse. Since then we have continued to tour across the country.

Because the original group of participants in this project identified as Christian protestant women, the stories and interpretations reflect those voices.
