There's a reason the New York Times calls Women's Project "enduringly vital." Entering its 30th Anniversary Season in 2007-2008, WP is the nation's oldest and largest theater company dedicated to producing and promoting theater created by women. To that end, we:*Provide women's perspectives on a wide variety of political, social, international, religious, and cultural topics;*Produce established and emerging women artists at WP's home, the Julia Miles Theater;*Mentor exceptional writers, directors, and producers through WP's Lab series;*Develop new works and classic plays by women in readings and workshops;*Commission new works and adaptations of classic plays by women;*Advocate on behalf of women theater artists within the national and international professional theater;*Educate students in grades 2-12 about the cultural and historic significance of women theater artists;*Celebrate women of achievement from a variety of fields at our annual Gala; * Awaken audiences and theater professionals to the power and range of women theater artists. Women's Project was founded in 1978 by Julia Miles in response to the lack of opportunities for women in theater. Since then, Women's Project has produced over 120 mainstage and over 450 developmental productions, and published 10 anthologies of produced plays. Now under the leadership of Julie Crosby, Producing Artistic Director, Women's Project continues to provide a full roster of mainstage and developmental productions, and mentorship and education programs.
