Works by Women San Francisco
Christine Young (Creator/Curator) ∞ Suma Nagaraj (Blog Design/Editing) ∞ Valerie Weak (Contributor/Social Media)
The Works by Women San Francisco blog/website celebrates the theatrical work that women do as playwrights, directors, designers, performers, and producers in the San Francisco/Bay Area. We stand in solidarity with both the original Works by Women site and the 50/50 in 2020 campaign, both based in New York City, which were established to support women theater artists and to promote gender parity in theater.
As a local wing of a national movement, we seek to make visible the compelling artistry and significant production work that local women theater artists contribute to the field, while simultaneously drawing attention to the fact that women need more and better opportunities to practice their crafts as playwrights, directors, designers, performers, and producers.
