If you live in NYC you must come to one if not all of these awesome shows, festival executive director Desiree Burch and her team of talented gals have worked so hard to make these events possible ( I had coffee with Ms. Burch just over a year ago where she dreamed of an all-female festival and now boom! It’s a reality! Yeah for making it happen!) For a full calendar of events visit http://thehystericalfestival.com/festcal_wed.html.
