Women Making Change

Diverse Line-up of Programs Celebrate Women & Examine Issues Women & Girls Face

Carpinteria is shining a bright spotlight on the women who are bravely and boldly shaping our community as well as the women who have changed the world. In honor of Women’s History Month, the Alcazar Theatre is hosting a month of programming called “Women Making Change.” Diverse and thought-provoking events include performances by female musicians, artists, comedians and poets, documentaries and films that amplify the accomplishments and legacies of women historically and in the present, and speakers and panelists who will address critical issues affecting women and girls.

A screening of “Suffragette” on Feb. 19 launched the Women Making Change programming, which includes over a dozen events at the Alcazar Theatre. Kicking off March’s full month of programs is a Comedy Night featuring comedienne Cat Alvarado on Saturday, March 5. Next in the line-up, on Sunday, March 6, is a screening of “Miss Representation” which considers sexism in American society and the media. The film will be discussed by panel members: Alitza Gonzales, Elsa Granados, Kara Peterson, and Rachael Ross Steidl, with Regina Ruiz, former television journalist, and educator as moderator.

Programs for Women Making Change continue throughout March with plays, concerts, movies, panels, and a self-defense class. Program details can be found at https://www.thealcazar.org/.
