Hazelwitch Productions was established in 1981 by a group of women dedicated to bringing lesbian and feminist performers to the Houston community. The organization was incorporated in April 1983 and, over fifteen years, produced around forty events featuring musicians, comedians, and performance artists. In addition to performances, Hazelwitch presented films, workshops, and counseling sessions.

Although Hazelwitch did not publish a newsletter, events were promoted through the local gay/lesbian press. One notable publicity outlet was "The Wand," the newsletter of the lesbian collective "Womynspace" which had been active since the mid-1980s and has produced the group "Lesbians Over the Age of Fifty," or "L.O.A.F." Pokey Anderson and Cheryl Wolfarth also publicized Hazelwitch on a KPFT radio show which aired until 1994.Despite frugal financial management the 1990s brought difficulties for the corporation due to a decline in ticket sales to Hazelwitch events. Patty Larkin's appearance at the Heinen Theatre in March 1996 was the corporation's last major production..

Womynspace, Inc was a non-profit organization designed by and for women. Founded in 1985, it was formed and directed by a collective of women including Deborah Bell, Marie Breeding, Anita Davidson, Lynda Jones, Nancy Meier, Mary Helen Merzbacher, Ann Rushing, Ruth Sathre, Margo Shelton, Glena Stephenson, and Rebecca Tallman. The organization operated under four basic tenets regarding the purpose of its existence. First and foremost, it sought to provide a gathering and healing place for women only. It provided space for artists and relief to women who were exploited as consumers. Lastly, it strived to add dimension to the "womyn's" community. The organization worked to establish an alternative living space in a communal setting; a coffeehouse that would provide artistic and gathering space; a shop and gallery space where "womyn" wares would be displayed and sold; a meeting and workshop space; and a forum for disseminating information throughout the womyn's community. Additionally, the organization held woman-only dances and produced a number of concerts with women artists. Operated by consensus, the organization provided a safe, chemically-free environment for women with a feminist perspective.
