Neo-Political Cowgirls To Host Second Annual Women's Advocacy Event In East Hampton

In keeping with their mission of raising visibility for women's issues, The Neo-Political Cowgirls (NPC) dance theatre company is proud to present their second annual Andromeda's Sisters event on Thursday, June 28th at East Hampton's Guild Hall. Inspired by the moment in NPC's production "ANDROMEDA" in which Poseidon's daughters swim to Andromeda's aid, Andromeda's Sisters celebrates women's capacity to support each other and change the world we occupy. This event will raise funds for The Neo-Political Cowgirls' theatrical and educational programming, while highlighting the work of women's causes and the words of female playwrights. A three-tiered evening of advocacy, associating, and arts, this event celebrates, connects, and articulates women's issues, voices, interests and livelihoods.

"The world today calls for exceptional energy in addressing society's struggles," says Kate Mueth, Neo-Political Cowgirls Artistic Director and Founder. "We at NPC thrive on this energy of assisting and making connections. We see how imperative the intersection of arts and advocacy is in serving our communities, families and the industrious talents of women. And that's why we have Andromeda's Sisters. When we "swim" to help our sisters, even if it may go against our own best interests in the moment, it's astounding what can happen for all of those involved."

The schedule of the evening is as follows:
