Women’s Project…
"A Gem of a Discovery"--The New York Times
Share in the joy, passion, and creative wit of a brand new season at Women's Project! As the nation's oldest and largest company dedicated to producing and promoting theater created by women, Women's Project remains the magnetic force field for innovative artists and adventurous theater-goers from around the world.
Women's Project was founded by Julia Miles in 1978 to address the conspicuous under-representation of women artists working in the American theater. Thirty-one years later, employment statistics for women playwrights and directors have improved, But there is work to be done. Even today, only 20% of opportunities in the professional theater nationwide are granted to women theater artists.
