The Lady Cavalier Theatre Company
is an award-winning NYC based, nonprofit organization
that was founded to promote a stronger female image
and raise awareness of historical women warriors through
original productions and educational workshops that
center on the art of theatrical combat. Since 2000 we
have produced plays, short films, staged readings and
festivals of new works both in New York and LA that
continually challenge the stereotype of a "weaker
sex".
Historically women have been leading armies, swashbuckling
on the seas, and challenging one another to honorable
duels for centuries; yet records of their exploits are
few and far between. Queen Boudica of ancient Britain,
pirate captain Hsi Kai Ching, and the nineteenth century
warriors of the African Kingdom of Dahomey, are only
three examples of the many women who have fought bravely
and passionately for what they believe. This award-winning
company is dedicated to bringing their stories to light.
