ON HER SHOULDERS was founded in 2013 to present rehearsed, staged readings of plays by women from across the spectrum of time, with contemporary dramaturgs contextualizing them for modern audiences. The program was incorporated into New Perspectives’ Women’s Work Project in 2014 and continues to strive to make it impossible for producers and theatre companies to deny or ignore the 1,000-year history and value of women’s contribution to the theatrical canon. To date the program has presented 40 plays by 32 writers from the years 1668 to 1970.
TSS Alum Warren Bub will appear in an industry-only reading of George Eastman’s new play, Harry Townsend’s Last Stand alongside Tony & Emmy winner Len Cariou. Read the story on Playbill here.
