LIONWOMAN PRODUCTIONS TX HOSTS
WOMEN EMPOWERMENT: CHANGING THE LANDSCAPE
A CONVERSATION WITH HOUSTON WOMEN LEADERS
As we embrace fresh challenges in 2025, Lionwoman Productions TX held a public conversation, “WOMEN EMPOWERMENT: Changing the Landscape.” This unique and unifying event took place on Saturday, February 22, 2025 at The Heritage Society of Houston, in the welcoming space of the Museum Gallery. Interest and enthusiasm for this topic brought a great crowd, even on a rainy, chilly afternoon! We began with a reception (including a hot chocolate service!) to meet and chat with speakers and fellow attendees, ahead of the discussion.
Elena Coates (media producer, advisory board member, actress) proved an excellent moderator, as we explored how women lead, strategies for advancing empowerment, and promoting the VALUE of female experience and perspectives in policymaking and problem-solving. It was an great, open discussion, with such a positive impact that the crowd lingered and kept chatting and connecting a half hour after the event ended!
Panelists included: Malinda Beckham (Artistic Director, Dirt Dogs Theatre); Claudia De Vasco (Managing Director, Miller Outdoor Theatre); Hon. Dolores Lozano (Justice of the Peace, Precinct 2, Position 2);
Eileen Morris (Artistic Director, The Ensemble Theatre); Tamara Siler (Director, University Relations - Admission, Rice University); Diana Strassmann, Ph.D. (Carolyn and Fred McManis Distinguished Professor in the Practice, Emerita, at Rice’s Center for Women, Gender, and Sexuality); and Geraldina Wise (Artist, Gallery Owner, Activist for the Environment and Cultural Heritage)
Panelists and the Lionwoman team have begun gathering resources, recommended by our speakers and audience. from books to podcasts. We will keep updating and invite you to take a look!

Theater changes lives. Lionwoman Productions TX builds around this simple, but profound idea. We seek to create great theater that not only entertains - it draws the audience in, allows us to walk in another’s world – to see through different eyes.
