New Numbers!

(6/8/12) Update - A So Cal Professional Theater Progress Report. Female Artists % = The Same

The numbers are in for the 2012/2013 announced regular seasons for the nine professional LORT stages in the Southern California region: Geffen Playhouse, Ahmanson, Mark Taper Forum, Kirk Douglas Theatre, South Coast Rep, La Jolla Playhouse, Old Globe, Pasadena Playhouse and Laguna Playhouse.

Out of 69 total shows announced, LA FPI calculates that about 22% are female-authored, and about 25% are directed by women.  Last year’s LA FPI Study put the percentage of plays written by women at 22.5% for eight local theaters (Pasadena Playhouse was not included in last year’s numbers).  This is the first year a count has been conducted for female directors.

These numbers tell us that that shows by female theatermakers (playwrights, composers, lyricists, conceivers) in Southern California are about the same from the 2011/2012 season.
