The Three Tomatoes

The Power of Women’s Voices

An Evening of Prose, Poetry, Art, and Music

A curated showcase that spotlights fierce, funny, and fearless voices from women over 40—writers who redefine what it means to live boldly and speak truthfully. With readings of original prose and poetry, captivating art, and soul-stirring musical performances, every moment invites reflection, joy, and shared inspiration.

Presented by The Three Tomatoes Publishing, an offshoot of The Three Tomatoes lifestyle website, was formed six years ago to amplify the voices of women, and since its inception we have published nearly 80 books, novels, memoirs, inspirational books, children’s books, and poetry.

Expect a night that amplifies the narratives that too often go unheard. Whether celebrating love, loss, reinvention, or resilience, these voices will move you—and maybe even ignite your own.

What to expect:

Live readings by actresses and producers Valerie Smaldone, Carol Ostrow, and CBS reporter and actress Kristie Keleshian of some of our published authors whose work uplifts and empowers.
