Women’s Equality Day 2026

Candor! Courage! Creativity! Resilience! Collective Action!

Our annual Women’s Equality Day event is back! Join us for an uplifting celebration that honors the past, amplifies voices in the present, and imagines a more equitable future through the performing arts. Enjoy an inspiring evening of live theatre, song, and dance honoring the voices and achievements of women across generations.

Observed annually on August 26, Women’s Equality Day commemorates the 1920 ratification of the 19th Amendment, which granted many American women the right to vote. The official day of observance was established in 1971 thanks in part to advocacy by Congresswoman Bella Abzug, a staunch member of the women’s rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s.

August 26th is now a day to recognize our nation’s progress toward gender equality while also acknowledging the work still to be done.

Doors will open at 6:00pm for the reception. Food and drinks are included in admission.

Community partners will display related exhibits in the lobby.

Live performances in the theater will begin promptly at 7:00pm.

The program will be approximately 1-hour long.
