What does it mean to play a woman? 

This is a jam that makes us play their stories with quality using the ideas of the Bechdel test but with a twist. All the characters are women, they can not talk about men. Only women can perform main characters and men improvisers get the chance to play support (female) roles, set pieces, sounds, and any other creative way to play with women's protagonism in mind.
