Join The Hive for an evening of merriment, story, song, and poetry as we bring the ancient voices of the women of the Purim story to life in present day. You will hear women from diverse backgrounds speak about their own stories of leadership, masked identities, bravery, and
finding their own voice.
This is an evening at The Hive that you won’t want to miss.
Tickets are Pay-What-You-Can, valued at $12/person.
Sharing some of their stories will be:

Lee and Toni were lifelong entrepreneurs with a passion for innovation and for supporting talent. They believed that only with big risk comes big reward.
