Other Voices

Other Voices Inc., (1980-1985) was a feminist theater company established by Janet Metzger, Lorraine Lombardi, Carmella Cardina, and Jayne Pleasants. Founded to provide an alternative to stereotypical roles women faced in theater, Other Voices produced theater that focused on quality roles for women as directors, actors, and designers.   Here are some example of letters illustrating their grassroots fundraising.
