Women of Resistance comes to the New Tampa Performing Arts Center on March 25 and 26 with the kind of electricity that makes an audience sit forward before the first cue even lands. The production doesn’t simply recount history. It brings seven extraordinary World War II heroines to life onstage through dance, music, and visual storytelling that feels urgent, contemporary, and deeply human.

The women at the heart of the piece, Hedy Lamarr, Josephine Baker, Nancy Wake, Noor Inayat Khan, Andrée Peel, Lee Miller, and Virginia Hall, come from different countries, backgrounds, and callings. Yet, each made the same impossible choice: to resist fascism.
