Because this website and the work that I have done on it are only the smallest piece of a larger world in which people are addressing this cause, please consult these additional resources for more information and other stories:
https://thekilroys.org/: “THE KILROYS are a collective of playwrights, directors and producers in LA and NYC who are done talking about gender parity and are taking action. We mobilize others in the field and leverage our own power to support one another.”
https://milagro.org/: “Providing extraordinary Latino theatre, culture, and arts education experiences for the enrichment of all communities.”
https://www.reddoorproject.org/: “At the Red Door Project, we create experiences that can change people — not by telling them what to think or feel, but by expanding perspectives and opening up new ways of seeing.”
https://cornerstonetheater.org/about/: “For over 30 years…… [we have put on plays that] celebrate many voices, and are staged in theaters and in parking lots, in factories, schools and subway stations. We strive to include people who have not been on stage or even seen theater. We’ve taken up residence in small towns and urban neighborhoods, collaborating with locals from start to finish to tell their unique stories through theater.”
https://www.americantheatre.org/about-us/: “American Theatre magazine is the nation’s only general-circulation magazine devoted to theatre. Founded in 1984 by the pioneering arts service organization Theatre Communications Group, the magazine featured cowboy-hatted playwright Sam Shepard on its first cover in April of that year. Since the fall of 2023, it is published quarterly.”
https://newplayexchange.org/get-started: “Connecting theater makers everywhere to scripts, monologues, and each other.”
