This week’s show: Expand the Canon; Why We Need Women Writers
How many classic female playwrights can you name? If the answer is less than three, you should attend this event! Meet Emily Lyon, the Artistic Director of New York’s Hedgepig Ensemble Theatre –– and director of Island Shakespeare Festival’s A Bold Stroke for a Husband. We’ll discuss the need for a canon of classics that includes a diverse group of women, who some of those women are, and what you can do to help expand the canon.

Finally, WICA’s Executive Artistic Director Deana Duncan will facilitate a conversation between Emily, and Island Shakespeare Festival’s Executive Artistic Director Olena Hodges, to discuss their three year and beyond partnership. This is not an event to miss!
