About This Show

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.

Necessary Exposure: The Female Playwright Project is a series of portrait and sound installations that bring visibility to playwrights who identify as female. Through portraits and podcasts  we bring awareness to what remains to be widely seen and heard. Patrons are invited to download fully sound designed Podcast recordings of writers and actors performing excerpts of their plays. Patrons can listen to each podcast while viewing the corresponding portrait.

Featured playwrights include Jessica Almasy, Susan Bernfield, Saviana Stanescu, Penny Jackson, Cecilia Copeland, Diana Oh, Laura Noni Rohrman, Kari Bentley-Quinn, Amy E. Witting, Winter Miller, Maria Alexandria Beech, Micheline Auger, Karen Cellini, Angela Santillo, Abby Rosebrock, Kara Lee Corthron and Maybe Burke.
