Mission: WP was founded in 1978 by visionary producer, Julia Miles, to address the significant under-representation of women in theater. Women's Project And Productions' empowers female-identified and gender nonconforming artists to reach their full potential and, in doing so, challenges preconceptions about the kinds of plays women write and the stories they tell. Today, WP accomplishes its mission through several fundamental programs, including: the WP Lab, a two-year mentorship and new play development program for women playwrights, directors, and producers; the Domestic Partner residency program; the Developmental series; and the Mainstage series, which features a full season of Off-Broadway productions written and directed by extraordinary theater artists. (Less)
