Is theater a welcoming environment for women producers? Has that changed over the years? Do women producers offer a different aesthetic from their male counterparts? Studies indicate that women tend to be more collaborative, intuitive and empathetic in their management style. Though perhaps a generalization, do women producers display a different management style? There is controversy about the disproportionate number of works by men produced both historically and in the present. Might more women producers mean more works by women, and more stories that center on women? Is commercial theater or not-for-profit more welcoming for women? And given all these questions, what might theater look like with more women producers taking the lead?

Women's Project Theater
Runs Oct. 28 - Nov. 26
"Why is it still like this?" Janice sighs to Eliza. It's 1992, and Eliza is the brainy new recruit at a small-shop architecture firm. But she's struggling to get a foothold on even the lowest rung of the company ladder, and starts making moves to blow the lid off their pandora's box of office politics and social maneuvering, in this sharply hilarious black comedy. Rebeck brings her trademark blistering wit to the workplace in this darkly funny and all-too-relevant comedy of gender politics.
WP Theater proudly presents, by special arrangement with Segal NYC Productions, the Off-Broadway premiere of What We're Up Against from award winning playwright Theresa Rebeck (Mauritus, Seminar, NBC's "Smash"), Directed by Adrienne Campbell-Holt (Dry Land, Empathitrax), starring Skylar Astin (Spring Awakening, "Pitch Perfect"), Marg Helgenberber (The Little Foxes, "CSI"), Jim Parrack (Of Mice and Men, "True Blood"), Krysta Rodriguez (First Date, NBC's "Smash"), & Damian Young (All My Sons, "House of Cards").
Please visit our website, wptheater.org for more information about the show, and to purchase tickets.
Members can use code WWUA5 when entering at checkout to receive $5 off the ticket price. We can offer an even steeper discount for groups of 9 or more.

"As reimagined by Ms. Bauman, this story of exiles in love and in conflict becomes a meditation on immigrants and refugees today."-
Ben Brantley, The New York Times
from an article entitled
Reinventing Shakespeare, According to the Gospel of Joseph Papp
ARDEN/EVERYWHERE: The "As You Like It" Project is presented in collaboration with Baruch Performing Arts Center
65 Million Displaced People. All the World is Arden.
Arden/Everywhere
re-imagines Shakespeare's "As You Like It" as a story about refugees. It unlocks this beloved comedy's deepest heartbeat to tell a distinctly contemporary story - one that looks into a world of dislocation and exile to discover resilience, reconciliation and love. Performed by a diverse cast of actors whose origins extend from Russia to Liberia to Sri Lanka to Ohio, it unleashes theater's unique ability to awaken empathy, locating our common humanity in the face of a seemingly incomprehensible global catastrophe.
