We Take Most Major Credit Cards - Our Apologies but No Refunds

Have you seen an original rock opera of late? Well, this one is original, feminine/ist and local! Gilli Moon, local rock star and founder of Warrior Girl Music and Jayne DeMente, past film producer turned feminist and activist, have written a very humorous and poignant rock opera to benefit their grant projects.

This musical features an odd cast of Goddesses, meeting for their millennium convention, that will pick and train a new archetype for the next 100 years; one who can bring compassion to contemporary societies’ difficulties. A young woman, recently deceased, embodies the female aspect of Kwan Yin, Tara and the female lineage of the Lord Matreia. The cast is a combination of cross cultured dieties, each with interesting personalities, ranging from a Diva to Angels in Lingerie. This Opera features not only an original script and but a new music libretto. If you like rock music women, this is a piece not to be missed!

Matreya Rock Opera benefits the Women’s Heritage Project, a non-profit organization that has given grants to major institutes (including our own UCLA) for female research topics or programs such as: women in the arts, business, educational research and programming, community service, ecofeminism, spirituality and a WHP online library. This is a grass roots program to protect the last 50 years of women's research i n the academy and community; regarding the values of women concerning global spirit and mother earth through shared resource activism. www.womensheritageproject.ning.com

Also benefiting, is the Females On Fire music series, created by Warrior Girl Music, a creative arts company that is dedicated to unique artistic creations with a diverse blend of music, art and language FEMALES ON FIRE celebrates close to 100 talented female artists from around the world through CD Compilations and music performances, and is a vehicle and platform for female artists to be heard and shine, dedicated to messages empowering femininity, human equality, love, communication and vitality. www.warriorgirlmusic.com
