The Playwrights
Our major program is Expand the Canon, an annual list of 9 titles by women playwrights that should be considered classics. Jump to the ETC page to see what’s next for us in uplifting these female playwrights’ voices!
Who We Are
Investing in deep relationships and trust between artists is a powerful tool in creating meaningful work. Our Ensemble, Curators, and Reading Committee connect regularly to establish a long-term commitment to this work, and to one another.
What's Next
Join us in person or via livestream for a LIVE Podcast taping – and the launch of our 2023 List! Expand the Canon now has 36 plays (as many as Shakespeare!) for you to fall in love with.
Thanks to our supporters!
