In our Gallery Necessary Exposure: The Female Playwright Project Jody Christopherson and Martha Goode
About This Exhibition
The third in a series, this installation explores what it means to be writing for the theater as a woman at this moment in history.
History, culture, change is made by those who control what is written about it and what access the public has to that information. Theater is an opportunity for many perspectives to connect with audiences to create change. Yet only 1/5 of the plays produced in America are written by female playwrights.
Necessary Exposure: The Female Playwright Project is a portrait and sound installation which seeks to bring visibility to playwrights who identify as female. Through portraits and podcasts we bring awareness to what remains to be widely seen and heard.
This is what a playwright looks like. I want you see them. When you seek plays to program, scripts to buy, curriculum to teach, I want you to remember.
Join us to celebrate the opening night of this installation on Wednesday, February 8.
On view February 7 - March 1
& March 6 - 8, 2017
