Washington, D.C., Theater Initiative to Showcase Female Playwrights in 2015

Variety: Forty-five Washington, D.C., theaters have banded together to present world premieres by women playwrights in the fall of 2015 — an ambitious effort that marks one of the highest-profile attempts to address the industrywide gender disparity of ongoing concern in the legit biz. And because D.C. is one of the country’s more fertile regions for works that travel, the initiative’s reach could well extend far beyond the capital.
