On we go! We want to continue our series of “theater mixers” at rotating theaters and venues which will introduce more women playwrights to theatermakers; these receptions will include other female and male theater artists.
We’d love to find someone to take charge and use our LA Theater Task Force to facilitate theater-going groups in the LA area and financially support female-authored plays onstage. (See Women at Work Onstage) We hope to tie some of these events to our “mixers,” held to recognize a theater that’s producing work by a women playwright.

LA FPI Spotlight

Kudos to Los Angeles’ Native Voices at the Autry. Founded in 1999, Native Voices is devoted to developing and producing new works for the stage by Native American and First Nation playwrights. About 70% of the works Native Voices has supported have been written by women. Photo by Stephanie Lein Walseth Used by permission
