As always, its FREE!

WELCOME 2014 WOMEN'S WORK MEMBERS!

We are delighted to announce the 2014  members of the Women's Work Short Play LAB, who have already been tasked with the theme of ON THE MARGIN to write their short plays. Six new works will be produced in our Annual Women's Work Short Play Festival, August 4-10, 2014!  We also welcome 3 new directors, and are looking forward to some spirited group sessions—if our kick-off LAB is any indication!

SEASON 22: AN EXCEPTIONAL YEAR!

Numerology says "Exceptional Projects Possible" for 22, and we have planned one of our busiest seasons in a long while!  In addition to 4 programs of new works by a very diverse group of playwrights, we are continuing to co-produce ON HER SHOULDERS in association with the New School for Drama, and will be looking to add back some of our other programs that have been on hiatus for the recent past.
