The Goddess Diaries began as an experiment. Several women were asked to write about a specific milestone in their life as part of a Winter Solstice performance at a local church. Borrowing from the Western European agricultural wheel of the year, each monologue represents a time in the growing/harvest season; likewise, each season is a metaphor for each woman’s life event. From a first visit to the gynecologist to surviving bridal registries and bad husbands, the storytellers range in age from 11 to 66. The Diaries were launched in Jan 2010 as a fundraising vehicle, raising money and awareness for women-based charities in the DC area.
The Goddess Diaries plays at The Mountain Theatre – 900 Massachusetts Ave., NW, in Washington, DC.
