Aubrey Plaza Joins Power Women Summit 2020

“Black Bear” star Aubrey Plaza joins WrapWomen’s 2020 Power Women Summit, the largest annual gathering of women in media and entertainment. With the theme “Inclusion 360,” the event will take place virtually December 8-10.

Plaza is best known for playing April Ludgate on the Emmy-nominated series “Parks and Recreation.” Her comedic talents landed her starring roles in hit films like “Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates” opposite Anna Kendrick and Zac Efron and “Bad Grandpa” opposite Robert De Niro.

More recently, Plaza made the transition into drama with projects such as Noah Hawley’s FX series “Legion” and the film “Ingrid Goes West,” which she also produced. Plaza continues to shine on screen and behind the camera in her recent film “Black Bear,” which she both stars in and produced.
