NYC: Women Make Theatre

For Women’s History Month, we’re celebrating women’s contribution to the theatre, where they have had a dramatic presence since classical times and a professional presence as actors since the 17th century.

Today, women are award-winning playwrights, theatre directors, and visionary founders of companies.  They have also contributed to the craft of theatre as creators of new practices.

On this program, we share three different perspectives: devoted librarian and archivist stewards the collection of a great male thespian; a fruitful educator who is also a playwright and director; and the founder of a young, enterprising and provocative theatre company.
