Who Designs and Directs in LORT Theatres by Pronoun: 2019

HowlRound Theatre Commons: It’s the fifth year of this study! Are we getting closer to gender parity in design in LORT theatres?

The short answer is yes, albeit very slowly and with a good chunk of caveats. Over the six seasons, the percentage of she designers in positions increased 6.0 percent overall to 33.0 percent. Individual disciplines varied. In lighting and projection/video, the percentage of she designers in positions more than doubled. But the percentage of she designers in sound design positions only went up by 0.3 percent.
