"Under the leadership of Julie Crosby, Producing Artistic Director, since 2005, Women’s Project Theater was founded in 1978 by Julia Miles to address the significant under-representation of women theater artists and has since built a tremendous legacy. Although even today women lack parity in pay and opportunity, the artists who have broken through the glass ceiling have first crossed the threshold at Women’s Project Theater, including Eve Ensler, Lynn Nottage, Maria Irene Fornes, Katori Hall, Pam MacKinnon, Leigh Silverman and Anna Deavere Smith, among the many.
Women’s Project Theater accomplishes its mission through two fundamental programs: the WP Lab, a two-year mentorship and new play development program for women playwrights, directors, and producers, and the Main Stage series, which annually features three off-Broadway productions written and directed by extraordinary women theater artists. - See more at:http://wptheater.org/about/mission/#sthash.1bd9PbWa.dpuf
And each year, Women’s Project Theater hosts the Women of Achievement Awards Gala , which pays homage to luminaries such as Chita Rivera, Eve Ensler, Whoopi Goldberg, Estelle Parsons, Gloria Steinem, Vanessa Redgrave, and Laurie Anderson to name but a few.”
