The cast and crew of We Did It For You! Women's Journey Through History
want to thank you for all your support this year in helping us make our

performing and spreading this positive message to audiences around the
country. We appreciate everyone who has come to our performances,
virtual or otherwise, and are truly grateful when people and
organizations provide us with the funds we need in order to keep going.
We have a bold plan for 2021 to inspire teenagers and young adults into
action. We are planning to create a high-quality filmed version of We Did It For You! Women's Journey Through History to show in schools. See our film trailer. We are in contact with teachers, schools, and filmmakers as we plan this rollout next year.

goal for the end of the year. Your donation will help make this film
possible. Donations go through our fiscal sponsor Fractured Atlas,
making them tax-deductible.
In We Did It For You! Women’s Journey Through History,
a high school student has a history project to figure out who has done
the most for women of today. She learns the answer from a series of
women who come back from the past to share 400 years of lived history.
Audiences love the positive message that overarches the educational and
fun script, and they have urged us to bring this musical into schools
and history classes.

We have hundreds of testimonials from
our performances. An audience member said: “I taught U.S. History in
community college for 30 years and I learned so much from this show!”
Another one said: “As a teacher let me say I wish you would present it
in every high school civics class in US .” This is my favorite: “I LOVED
it. I’m 11 and it got me interested in women’s rights.”
TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR VIRTUAL PERFORMANCES
"So GREAT! I learned a BUNCH I didn't know (and I was a US History teacher)."
"Brings me to tears every time. Thank you to all of you for
portraying these women and thank you to all the women who came before
us."
“Your play always gives me chills and never fails to bring tears of pride!”
“It reinforced what I have watched especially through PBS on the
centennial this year but also broadened the scope to bring it to 2020!!!
The teaching moment made it real.”
“Thank you all so very much! This was educational, inspirational and enjoyable!"
"Great connection to the next generation."
“Learned a lot. I was shocked to learn so many states did not ratify the
ERA. It’s sickening that states are still fighting against this.”
“Thanks so much for making this available to so many. I hope young
women are seeing this. They need to know who came before them to make
life better for them now. In this age of possibly moving backwards on
human rights in general, this history is so important. It is good to
have previous role models to encourage speech and action today.”
“I have never had greater respect for what it takes to shift to
livestream platform and learn technology with all the gusto and
persistence of our ability.”
“Great show! So proud of what all these women did! Thank you all for offering!”
“It was inspiring to hear that 102 years ago, women continued to work for the vote, even amidst an epidemic."
“The show was a masterpiece of creative, electronic showmanship. I
know how quickly you invented, manipulated, and stretched new technology
to deliver to a stay-at-home audience a socially conscious,
entertaining program.”
