THE SOUL OF A POWERFUL WOMAN is an annual fundraising performance for the theater started by Ms. Taylor in 2013 because she understands and believes in the Power of Women. She asked a few other powerful women to help in her efforts and Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky, feminist activist Hedy Ratner, State’s Attorney Kim Foxx and many, many great women leaders of the community joined in to help make this woman lead, woman sponsored and woman united campaign be the success that it has become.
