Audience & Past Clients: Who brings us to conduct a That Takes Ovaries event?

Who is our audience and who invites us to lead a TTO event? Our audiences are women, men and transgender people, including young adults and teens. We have a range of clients who invite our professional staff to their communities to lead our 2-hour inspirational, audience-participatory TTO event, including:

Colleges, Universities, High Schools

Audience: Students, faculty and staff
Who invites us:

• Student Activities Directors
• Resident Life Coordinators
• Diversity and Inclusion Directors
• Gender/Women’s Resource Centers
• Women’s Studies Departments
• Health Centers and School Counselors
• Psychology, Sociology and English Departments
• Drama Departments, since the event includes dramatic readings

Note: We are often brought to a school by a coalition of co-sponsors, all of whom chip in to both cover our fee and engage in the publicity needed to get students in the door. We can include on stage with us one student from each of the co-sponsoring groups, giving each the spotlight for a time, so that each group feels a sense of “buy in” for the event.
