Los Angeles Women's Theatre Festival Co-Founder Adilah Barnes described this
3-day event as "career training from industry professionals, designed to
give a boost to solo performers, but will also be of value to anyone
contemplating online or live theatrical production in Los Angeles and those who
wish to tour in these changing times."
"I've admired the L.A. Women’s Theatre Festival for years," said
Warren. "It's an honor to be included in this dynamic esteem-building
gathering for women in theater."
Warren produced and directed her plays, "Bits of Paradise: Kochiyama's
Crusaders" and “Bits of Paradise” in Hollywood and San Francisco
respectively. Both focus on a women's campaign behind the barbed wire of the
Japanese American Internment of World War II, and feature an Asian cast. She
also penned and directed a "women's self-defense" musical, "Hallelujah
Whiplash!" at San Diego’s Marquis Public Theatre, and her comedy about New
Age female bonding, "Chasing Sangha," was presented at the Athena
Cats Festival in Santa Monica.
As a promoter, Warren offers public relations and marketing strategies for
entertainers. "It was a pleasure working with the brilliant solo
performer, Sherry Glaser,” Warren said, “because she brings ambition and
inspiration to any endeavor."
