WomenSong

WomanSong considered to be the first feminist theater troupe in Atlanta, WomanSong was founded in the early 1970s, and it was comprised of both straight and lesbian women. They played in coffee houses, colleges and political rallies throughout the South.

There was a theater group, Womansong Theatre, that had existed before ALFA was formed. It was a feminist theater, straight and gay women in it. They did skits, and songs, and humorous stuff with feminist themes. Red Dyke theatre became the lesbian version of [it]. We would have performances, and we’d have fundraisers. They did lip-synching, which was of course a bar popularity. And then they did little skits that made some political point about either queerness or being a woman, or something like that.
