Op-Ed: Sure, resolve to stage more plays by women. It still won't make up for all we've lost (via latimesopinion)
Recently a producer revealed he had held one of my plays for years without reading it. And then the punchline: What he’d always liked about me, he said, was that despite being repeatedly disrespected and pushed aside, “Sarah, you took it like a man.”
The second-tier status of female playwrights got a moment in the spotlight earlier this month when L.A.’s Center Theater Group announced a 10-play Women over 50, especially women who are BIPOC — Black, Indigenous, people of color — “who led the path for diversity we now enjoy,”But nothing can give my generation back what was taken from us: opportunity, development, experience, influence, income and growth. And without those status markers, persuading theaters to fully transform whose work is allowed to be seen and grappled with remains difficult.
To bring more older female writers onto the American stage, theater administrators should try speaking with us. Those of us in this lost generation of women playwrights usually have to wait years for our work to be read, only to receive a cursory email rejection. We are rarely given the opportunity to discuss the work and its values with the powers that be.
