The best way for a (self-identified) woman to get involved at WOW is to come to our weekly business meeting. It is there that jobs are volunteered-for and policies decided. It is also the best way to get a feel for what WOW is, how our anarchist collective functions, and who these
people are that you might be working with.

We meet every Tuesday at 6:30pm in our performance space at 59-61 East 4th Street, between the Bowery (3rd Ave) and 2nd Avenue. Ring buzzer number 6. Press the button, step back and look up. In a few moments a woman's head will appear in a window on the 4th floor and yell Are you here for WOW?! Hint: Say Yes! We'll throw you down a key to the front door. Let yourself in and come to the 4th Floor.

Pull up a chair and join our circle. As soon as your butt hits the chair, you can count yourself a member of the WOW collective. There are no membership dues, or trial periods. Just show up.

 

As the meeting begins, it's good to let that week's facilitator know you are new. Someone will give you a brief history/summary of WOW, we'll ask you what part of the production process you'd like to be involved in (lights? publicity? acting? directing?), and we'll probably encourage you to staff a show.

Staffing is basically ushering. You show up an hour before the show begins, help to sweep the floor, fold programs, greet the audience, and when the show starts, you can take any empty seat and watch the show for free. Even if this is all the further you'd like your commitment to WOW to be we can always use staffers, and it's a great way
