Gia On The Move Partners With The Los Angeles Female Playwrights Initiative For The 2023 Hollywood Fringe Festival


Gia On The Move has announced that a new team of reviewers will be covering the 2023 Hollywood Fringe Festival as part of a collaboration with the Los Angeles Female Playwrights Initiative (LAFPI)

Gia On The Move publisher, Tracey Paleo, calls the alliance a win for everyone, "It just makes sense. Partnering with the LAFPI and hosting female reviewers at Gia On The Move opens another avenue for female and female identifying voices and perspectives to be heard and acknowledged. I'm excited to be able to finally accommodate a relationship with this group and the vital work they do in the Los Angeles theater arena."

LAFPI Co-Founder Jennie Webb added, "I love that GOTM will allow women writers to support Fringe Femmes in yet another way, and am thrilled to join forces to shine light on the "Women on the Fringe!"

LAFPI affiliates and veteran Fringers, Heather Dowling, Eloise Coopersmith and Ella Luo, will join long-time contributor Matt Ritchey to provide coverage of shows for the 2023 season. Their reviews will be highlighted with the LAFPI badge and the #FringeFemmes hashtag at GiaOnTheMove.com.
