Theresa Rebeck on women in theater

NYPost: "At an ART/New York (ART = Alliance of Resident Theaters) event celebrating the off and off-off Broadway community on Monday, writer Theresa Rebeck gave a keynote address that was largely about being a female playwright nowadays. It's reproduced at the Women and Hollywood site, and it's a rather interesting read. Rebeck has been very outstpoken about the gender imbalance in theater, namely that plays written by women have a harder time getting produced than plays written by men. I overall agree with her, but I wish Rebeck would stop using her own case history -- which is that of a successful writer -- as a starting point."
