THE PUSSY GRABBER PLAYS Pop Up In Hollywood

In the wake of nearly two dozen women independently coming forward following the Access Hollywood hot mic reveal of now President Donald Trump's egregious sexual misconduct,

coupled with the now daily reporting of his misogynistic mishaps "The Pussy Grabber Plays" were developed and produced by an award-winning, all-female creative team led by co-creators Kate Pines (Theater Agent, ICM Partners) and Sharyn Rothstein (playwright, "By the Water"). The original production premiered in New York at Joe's Pub in 2019. And went on to have a production in London. Since then, the creators have made "The Pussy Grabber Plays" available to organizations across the world to raise awareness - and money- for women's organizations.
