This sounds like an interesting exhibit, but it left me wondering a lot of things. First of all, it only gave a vague definition of what the League of Professional Theatre Women actually does. I couldn't tell if they were simply an advocacy organization, or a group with a mission, etc. Secondly, I would have liked there to have been examples listed of what sorts of things will be in the exhibit, whether it is actual work (costumes, drawings, papers, personal effects, etc) or more archival items such as video footage and interviews. I'm still interested in knowing more, but I would care more deeply about this if I knew what women were going to be featured, and whether the exhibit has a more concrete goal than simply giving women the spotlight.
