In praise of theater by, for and about women

wbez.org: This ought to be a tired old subject by now, but as I watched Shattered Globe’s Her Naked Skin recently, I couldn’t help thinking it was good to see a show about women, written by a woman, presented by a theater that doesn’t primarily identify itself as a women’s theater. Though there are certainly exceptions–Chicago Dramatists is one; 16th Street Theater in Berwyn is another–it remains the case that Chicago theaters are more interested in stories about boys than in stories about girls.
