See Truth Values LIVE

Celebrate Women's History Month with a special one-night performance of the international hit play Truth Values at San Francisco’s Théâtre Erick Moreau.

Truth Values is a hilarious, insightful, and uplifting show about the joys and challenges of being a woman in STEM.

A conversation follows the performance, featuring extraordinary women in STEM, including Marilyn Simons, Ph.D., Co-Chair of the Friends of the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques; Emille Lawrence, Ph.D., Professor of Mathematics, University of San Francisco, and Tatiana Toro, Ph.D., Director of the Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute.

Mission

This event is part of the Truth Values Community Project, whose mission is to create a profoundly supportive community for women and underrepresented minorities in STEM through an innovative pairing of science, art, and conversation.

The project was launched via sponsorship from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. 

By joining this event for Women's History Month, you are helping fundraise for the upcoming Truth Values documentary
