For those of you who missed the Women’s Caucus Meeting on March 8th, 2021 (International Women’s Day), we partnered with The Cultch’s Digital Storytelling Team and used an online platform called GatherTown, which allowed us to roam about a virtual reconstruction of the theatre while interacting with each other and special program features via animated avatars.
