"Strap in for a wild, mind-expanding ride.” – The Hartford Courant

“Just wish I could sense our future. Could feel the air change.
‘Cause then I know
it’ll all be worth it.”

Four female activists are working in a Virginia civil rights office on the day of a much anticipated speech by Rosa Parks. From the Civil Rights Movement to the present day, CADILLAC CREW illuminates forgotten leaders who blazed the trail for desegregation and women’s rights. With remarkable insight and unexpected humor, the play asks, what happens when Black women refuse to be written out of history.

Choose your price! WAM celebrates equitable seating for all, and encourages patrons to select the ticket price that best fits their needs. Tickets range from $25-$100 for live performances, and $15-$75 for digital streaming. We invite our audience members to choose from one of the suggested price levels, while keeping in mind that the higher ticket price you are able to select, the more we will be able to donate to our beneficiaries.

WAM Theatre presents their 2022 Mainstage Production, CADILLIAC CREW, in partnership with the Women’s Fund of Western Massachusetts.

“I consider myself an 'artivist.' I know that the thing I love to do is to create and tell stories, so how do I use my art in service of my activism? What am I doing with this gift that God has given me? How am I using it to better the world?" - Tori Sampson, Playwright

"Our production of Cadillac Crew looks to the women of the past, present and future. We honor the groundwork laid and lift up the collective power of the femme-identifying body. Our goal is to invite audiences deeper into their part of the greater plan." -Director taneisha duggan
