Unstoppable voices.

We can’t wait to share them with you.

The WhatNext? Collective is a vibrant group of San Diego-based writers, actors and directors committed to amplifying the diverse voices of women through bold storytelling.

The WhatNext? Collective made waves with its 2024 sold-out inaugural production, Good Girls and Badassery, and continued to challenge, inspire, and entertain audiences with fresh perspectives in its 2025 sold-out show, Park Bench Confessions.

In 2026, we’re proud to say we sold out once again—this time with 250% YoY audience growth—with Who Do You Think You Are? at Old Town Theatre.

Are you a San Diego woman director, playwright or actor over the age of 45?

We’d love to hear from you.
