“A year centered on women playwrights isn’t a theme; it’s a practical investment in the future of the field. Even now, national data from The Count 3.0–one of the most comprehensive surveys of U.S. nonprofit theatre seasons—shows that women’s representation in produced work still falls short of parity…
Progress happens only when institutions choose to make room for underrepresented voices, year after year. We have the honor and responsibility to ensure that the stories we tell reflect the full breadth of who we are. Rogue Machine has always been a place where bold voices are met with trust and craft is taken seriously. I’m deeply proud of this Roundtable and grateful to Justin and Guillermo for listening and for making a year like this possible.” — Lina Patel
The Playwright’s Roundtable is sponsored by the Los Angeles New Play Project.
