On Her Shoulders

On Her Shoulders ON HER SHOULDERS is a program of New Perspectives Theatre Company, started in 2013 to reclaim the lost heritage of women playwrights over the last 1,100 years.

Through January 2020 we have showcased 49 plays by 38 writers, from the years ca 955 to 1970. Every month actor Lillian Rodriguez, playwright Andrea Lepcio, and Artistic Director Melody Brooks host a reading of a play written by a classic female playwright. We recruit the artistic team: actors, director, and dramaturg, secure the space, at The New School for Drama through December 2013, and market the event. We also find a specialist on the woman playwright being presented and recruit them to come speak to the audience right before the reading. On Her Shoulders aims to restore women playwrights place in the history of theatre, by reminding us that they exist and empowering us to build on their success.
