Predictor: Women Who Innovate – Brunch & Matinee
On Saturday, January 17, join us for a thoughtfully curated afternoon centered around Predictor, an acclaimed, New York Premiere play written by Jennifer Blackmer and directed by Alex Keegan. Predictor tells the little‑known true story of Meg Crane, the graphic designer who invented the first home pregnancy test and fought to bring this life‑changing innovation to market — a story of ingenuity, resilience, and autonomy that resonates deeply today.
The experience begins with a pre‑show brunch at Miss Nellie’s, a welcoming spot known for its vibrant atmosphere and delicious Southern‑inspired fare, giving you time to connect before the matinee at AMT Theater. After the performance, stick around for a post‑show talkback with Meg Crane, offering an opportunity for deeper conversation about the play’s themes, historical context, and ongoing relevance. This special event is hosted in partnership with Gloria Feldt’s Take the Lead Women, highlighting leadership, agency, and women driving meaningful change.
With sharp wit and emotional depth, Predictor shines a light on a quiet trailblazer whose work transformed millions of lives, while asking timely questions about innovation, ownership, and what it means to take control of one’s own future.
Why this experience is worth joining:
This is more than a theater outing — it’s an opportunity to engage with a powerful true story brought to life by extraordinary artists, enjoy a shared meal in great company, and participate in an enriching conversation that extends the impact of the performance. Whether you’re drawn by the narrative, the chance to connect with others, or the leadership perspective brought by Take the Lead Women, this afternoon offers a rare blend of culture, community, and insight.
