TAKE OUR $10K CHALLENGE!

Numerology says "Exceptional Projects Possible" for 22, and we are coming to the end of what has been one of our most ambitious seasons in years! We have been in continuous production since August, with the work and talent of more than 125 artists featured in new plays and old, short plays and long.  And now we are in GREAT NEED of help! We need to raise $10,000 by May 31st. If only 1/2 of the people who receive our newsletter gave just $10, we'd reach our goal in no time!

ON HER SHOULDERS!

Our next reading in this amazing series rediscovering plays written by women from the past will be Wednesday, May 21st, at the Dramatists Guild.  Details to come!
