The SheLA Summer Theater Festival comes to us from its sister festival in New York and focuses on new works by gender-marginalized playwrights and composers. The short festival features five shows and runs through next weekend, with several pieces that we're looking forward to seeing, including Ink and Paint, a new musical about the women who worked behind the scenes at Disney to bring the princesses we know and love to life. There's also Zora and Langston, about the friendship and rivalry between Zora Neale Hurston and Langston Hughes during the Harlem Renaissance.
