Women ROCK! The Tent
Big voices, big guitars, big attitudes, and some big hair too! Come celebrate the music of Janis Joplin, Heart, Joan Jett, Blondie, Pat Benatar, Taylor Swift, Adele, and so many more!
In the summer of 2026, Cotuit Center for the Arts and WE CAN will join forces for an unforgettable evening at the Cape Cod Melody Tent, celebrating two major milestones: WE CAN’s 25th anniversary and Cotuit Center for the Arts' 30th. Cotuit Center for the Arts has earned its reputation as Cape Cod’s most vibrant and inclusive community arts organization, welcoming artists, audiences, and students from all walks of life. In 2024 alone, the Center sold more than 40,000 tickets to theatrical and musical events, offered over 400 arts education classes, and showcased extraordinary work in its award-winning gallery. Through dynamic outreach initiatives—including programs designed specifically for people with disabilities—the Center makes the transformative power of the arts accessible to thousands across the region each year.
This milestone concert, Women Rock, brings the best of one of the most beloved productions in the Center’s history to the Melody Tent stage. Conceived and produced by Michael Dunford and featuring an all-local lineup of powerhouse talent, Women Rock is a celebration of strength, creativity, and community—everything Cotuit Center for the Arts and WE CAN stand for. This night is more than a concert; it’s a tribute to the spirit of Cape Cod.
Women ROCK! is a musical celebration spanning 50 years of amazing women rockers, from the early pioneers to today's superstars, featuring the music of Janis Joplin, Heart, Joan Jett, Blondie, Pat Benatar, Taylor Swift, Adele and so many more!

Women ROCK! The Tent
A great show with hours of good music and a cast and band camaraderie that is evident… Definitely go! All those rock fantasies are back on stage, and you’ll find yourself at least dancing in your seat or maybe playing air guitar.
At WE CAN, we see every day how the strength, resilience, and creativity of women can transform families and communities. Partnering with Cotuit Center for the Arts on an event that celebrates both women and the arts is a perfect way to honor our shared belief in the power of human potential and our shared anniversary milestones.
For thirty years, Cotuit Center for the Arts has been fueled by the belief that the arts are for everyone. Celebrating that mission alongside WE CAN—an organization that has made such a profound impact on Cape Cod—is a privilege. Women Rock will be a night of music, joy, and community that reflects everything we stand for.
