In honor of Women’s History Month, we gathered four women who are leaders in their own shows for a special roundtable conversation: Amber Iman, who is starring in Lempicka and is also the co-founder of Black Women on Broadway and the Broadway Advocacy Coalition; Hell's Kitchen choreographer Camille A. Brown who also runs her own dance company, Camille A. Brown & Dancers; Water for Elephants director Jessica Stone (whose Kimberly Akimbo is also currently running on Broadway); and playwright Heidi Schreck, who is adapting Uncle Vanya and whose play What the Constitution Means to Me is the most-produced play in America this season.
In the wide-ranging and honest discussion, they discuss their career progression and how they learned to trust their own voices, despite those who doubted them.
