Stage of Strength: Women Shaping Theatre and Society - 31 July 2025

On today’s Lunch Break on Lotus FM, we shine the spotlight on women in theatre — a force driving gender equality, diverse storytelling, and the dismantling of stereotypes. Through dialogue, music, and dance, these voices inspire others to pursue their artistic dreams and challenge societal norms. Joining us is Marlene Le Roux, CEO of the Artscape Theatre and curator of the Artscape Women’s Humanity Festival. This festival champions human rights, addresses gender-based violence, and fosters a more compassionate society. Marlene takes us behind the scenes of this powerful programme and the transformative role of women in the arts.
