The American Theatre is notorious for being an “Old Boys Club,” but what will it take to achieve gender parity in the theatre without being bitter and overly aggressive, but being active about taking action and demanding opportunities? What are the statistics, and what are we doing to not only fix the problem, but to change the numbers? Join the conversation about the Lily’s, The Count, NNPN, and The Kilroys.
