Drinks With the Girls 1/26/15
Join us for the kick-off of a new Coalition monthly event:
DRINKS WITH THE GIRLS

In the media today you often read about how biased the arts still are. Female producers and directors are an anomaly even now, and don't even think about female technicians. So let's change it. Let's bring together all the smart talented women we know (and ones we don't), put us all in one space, and get some s**t done!

The plan: Drinks!

Most independent projects start out as just that: an idea over coffee or cocktails that then grows into a fully realized production. For thousands of years that's the way women have moved the world: get everyone together for some social time and let's talk.

So we're starting an event once a month that brings together women from all over the arts. We'll find a bar, hunker down and just see what happens. 

No agendas, no plans, just drinks with the girls. 

Please join us for our kickoff night:

Monday, January 26th
6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Pranna Restaurant
79 Madison Avenue (corner of 28th Street)                      


Happy hour specials all evening!
